Tap dancing numbers...

Hi,
I'm looking for broadway songs with tap dancing in it.
It's for a friend of mine, she has an audition next week and she need to do a broadway song, and since she's a pro tap dancer I thought I ask the masters of this board if they know any songs that can be good for her:)

Thanks!

First few that come to mind are Anything Goes (Anything Goes), Puttin' On The Ritz (Young Frankenstein), 42nd Street (42nd Street).

I thought of those, but It has to be a solo number..
I also thought of Forget about the boy from Millie but she diden't liked it...

What won't you do for a friend, ha?:P

The opening from 42nd St. (Andy has some solos and is dancing the whole time)

Anything from Bring in 'da Noise...

Instead of trying to copy choreography, I would just try to pick something with a good beat--very good Broadway tap numbers would challenge a professional tapper.

The opening of 42nd Street. and if you can find a recording of it; the tap number from A Chorus Line.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

MY ONE AND ONLY, with music by George Gershwin, has several tap dances, not only by star Tommy Tune, but also by the late, great Charles "Honi" Cole.
