A lot of Broadway has altos. Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, CATS, "Doatsy May" from Best Little Whorehouse in TExas is a good one. "Nothing" from A Chrous Line is a really good one. "Naughty Baby" from Crazy for You. "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs" from Hairspry. It has one kinda high note. "I Know Things Now" from Into the Woods. "Shadowland" from Lion King. "Happily Ever After" from Once Upon a Matress. "Anything Goes" from Anything Goes. "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from Gypsy. All of Rosie's songs from Bye, Bye Birdie. Songs from Cabaret and Chicago. "Back to Before" from Ragtime. It's a bit high, but I don't know how low you're talking, so... "Send in the Clowns" from A Little Night Music. "Losing My MInd" from Follies(?). "English Girls" from Song and Dance. "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins.
Disney has "I Won't Say I'm In Love".
Judy Garland songs. Barbara Streisand, too.

Sorry, that was a lot, huh? I hope I didn't bore you, or at least gave you one song you might want to do.

The Matron Mama Morton songs from "Chicago" are alto-range pieces. Look up "alto" on wikipedia.org, and it gives a list of alto characters from musicals -- if you like that sort of song, there are a lot to choose from.

You can also pick from a lot of songs and transpose (or have someone do it for you) into a key that is comfortable for you. Have fun!

i dreamed a dream. goes kinda high for an alto, but should be good for your range
