Serena Katz from "Fame" is a very shy, insecure character. One song she sings "Let's Play A Love Scene" talks about the guy she likes and how she wants to be with him and stuff. It's a nice character song- you can reveal how shy she is although the song is a confession.
Let's not forget about Audrey from Little Shop Of Horrors, as well.

Posted: 11/3/03 at 9:11pmPrincess Winnifred in "Once Upon a Mattress" is "shy." Even sings a song about it.

Posted: 11/3/03 at 10:29pmThough the musical wasn't a hit, the first character who comes to mind is Gertrude McFuzz from Seussical. "All For You" is her big torch number, and "Notice Me Horton" is good, too, though it's a duet...

Gloria from "Summer of '42" is very shy/insecure. And she has a lisp and likes birds with "big jowlth." Yeah, good times playing that role! 
She doesn't have any songs, besides little bits in trios with Aggie and Miriam, but I'd say that "Notice Me Horton" from "Seussical" would work. It's a duet but it totally works as a solo song.
