In search of an EXCELLENT female uptempo. Mezz/alto belt. nothing too recent; nothing still on broadway. nothing (too) over done.
i would appreciate anything you could throw out.
if no one laughs at your dreams you aren't dreaming big enough

"Life of the Party" is more of a high belt piece, not mezzo/alto. It is definitely belt though, depends what tone you're looking for.
Also, contemporary or standard? "I Get A Kick Out of You" from Anything Goes is more of a standard belt off the top of my head.

I posted this one on another that thread, It's upbeat, not too recent (1999 off-broadway), not still on broadway.

I'm not sure how "overdone" it is. I just played it this summer for a preshow event at a theatre, and it's just the cuttest number ever, nice belt at the end.
