Question about Monologues & Uptempo Songs

I found a casting for a local theatre production of Nunsense (amazing) that wants a comedic monologue, a Broadway ballad, and a uptempo Broadway song all prepared...

I have a few standard B'way ballads in my rep (I'll Know, Till There Was You, etc), but I'm having difficulty finding the other two pieces.

I have a few uptempo songs I like that I'd have to learn (the only uptempo song I have in my rep right now is the dreaded Popular, haha), but I was wondering if you guys knew of any that would be appropriate for the show or if you think I could go with pretty much anything.

As far as the monologue goes, I have one that I really like, but it's actually from a TV show. It's funny and has a little bit of heart and is well-written, but is the TV show thing a big turn off? I'm having trouble finding a comedic monologue from a play online that I can relate to and isn't terribly long.

I know I've gone on far less auditions than many of you here, so any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Monologue from sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All

Broadway Baby from Follies for the uptempo
