I'm thinking it has to be "Woman" for the solo: "I'll Be There" has gotten a LOT of play (perhaps too much?), and they'd surely want the title character to take the stage, I'd think. For the duet, one of the love songs: either "Here On This Night" or "If I Said I Loved You." I'd like to see the wedding scene for the dance, but that's most of the ensemble; "The Pirate Queen" or the christening would probably be a more manageable size for the View set. Advantages of "The Pirate Queen": shiny pirates (honestly: the viewership of "The View" is mostly women, so...) and the ensemble sings. Disadvantages: it's not really a big dance number, though there IS dancing. Advantages of the christening scene: a lot more dancing, and it shows off more costumes (plus, Stephanie and Hadley don't dance in it, so it gives them a break after/between numbers, depending on the order of the pieces). Disadvantage: no singing.
Then again, they want to give a taste, but, hopefully, make the audience want more, so I'm guessing they'll hint at some of the possibilities without giving a true sampling of everything the show has to offer (to wit: great leads AND big ensemble sound AND dancing AND lavish costumes).
EDIT: Block, Fraser, and 20 ensemble members...narrows it down further. The duet's definitely theirs, and unless they've pared down the wedding, that's not the dance number.
