You're not going to find an unknown showstopper. That being said, I would go with Rose's Turn from Gypsy if you want to move around the stage and show off your vocal/acting ability.

What do you mean by "unheard"?

With all due respect, how on earth can you expect a bunch of anonymous strangers know what would work for you? We have no idea of your age, your level of talent, your physicality,your strengths/weaknesses??
Also, what does "unheard" mean? And how do we ALSO provide you with "dynamic staging"??? Oyyy!

You Can Always Count On Me from City of Angels - good comic number and should be in the right range.

It's not the song that makes it a showstopper - its a combination of the song along with the performance. You can't "stop" a show with only one of them. Staging is what you make it. If you plan on copying someone else's staging, it won't ring true - especially out of context.
Pick a song YOU love, that suits YOUR voice, YOUR dance abilities and work hard. That's the best chance you have.
