Diva Musical Theater Songs

My friends and I are starting work on a revue based around the concept that women are always complaing that men have all the best musical theater roles. Alright, men do have a lot of great roles, but we think women get all the best SONGS and the revue is our chance to sing them. So.....

What do you think are the best diva female musical theater songs?

I love me some Will Ferrell when he's doing Goulet. It's just so random. Especially when he feeds that antelope(?). "Oh, you're hungry today."
