Check out the music from Elegies: A Song Cycle by William Finn. It's one of his lesser known musicals and it has some truly wonderful tenor (most of the male songs are upbeat, tenor) numbers. I'm a mezzo belt and I've done songs from the same show and it almost always leaves a wonderful impression.

Merde!

One of my favorite ballads, and it isn't really up tempo, but it is by no means so, is Being Alive from Company. Great song, awesome music, fantastic play. That's definitely the range you're looking for as well. One of my favorites.
