hello dolly from hello dolly
alone and yet alive from hot mikado
june bride from seven brides for seven brothers
think of me or all i ask of you from phantom of the opera
candle on the water from pete's dragon (had to throw in some disney sorry)
one hand one heart from west side story
one day i'll fly away from moulin rouge
roxie or class from chicago

:]

EDIT:
baby mine from dumbo
the circle of life from the lion king
beauty and the beast from beauty and the beast
colours of the wind from pocahontas
they live in you from the lion king(although it's not a female part, i'm sure it could be done)
you'll be in my heart from brother bear (likewise)
reflection from mulan

once around the riverbend from pocahontas
on my way from brother bear (again a male part)

well, you did ask
:P
as you can see, i'm a disney fan

"Think of me" from Phantom of the Opera if you can do it. Most people can't sing it which is part of what makes it so amazing. Also, "Out tonight" from Rent (more contemporary and fun) and possibly "over the moon" or "we're okay" also from Rent.... I don't remember those as well. Honestly I think you should be really fun and sing "under your spell" from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical, but that could be because I am a Buffy nerd. It really is a decent song though... Great soprano option.

i know it sounds lame but my favorite song is 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' from the Lion King.

Somewhere That's Green- Little Shop of Horrors
Forget About the Boy - Sutton Foster
anything from Wicked....
I dreamed a dream......

Come What May - Moulin Rouge

Green Finch and Linnet Bird from Sweeney Todd.

Depending on the strength of your voice, take a look at some of Jason Robert Brown's stuff (plenty of variety) - The Last 5 Years and Songs For A New World both have fantastic solos if you've got the belt to back it!
