What are some Broadway musical female solos that have a catchy beat?
I’m looking for any female solos from musicals that have an upbeat tempo. It seems like all the songs I can think of are slow and melodic to a fault.
What are some musical numbers for a woman that are faster and fun?
Links are greatly appreciated.

It’s not a Broadway musical, but I have always adored Judy Garland’s Get Happy from Summer Stock.
Does A Spoonful of Sugar from Mary Poppins count?
I like the suggestions so far. Thank you all very much.
I shouldn’t have said “Broadway.” I should also include movie musicals. Familiar numbers.
“America” from West-Side story! The l’istesso 6/8 and ¾ keep getting stuck in my head!
Ain’t It Good? from Children of Eden. Sound quality isn’t great, but you’ll get the idea.
Listen from Dreamgirls—it’s not as finger-snapping as the others, but is catchy for me.
Sandra Dee from Grease
I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair- South Pacific
“Let’s Do It, Let’s fall in Love” (That might not be the title.)
“Cock-eyed Optimist” from South Pacific
“We Need a Little Christmas” from Mame
Popular – Wicked
Oom Pah Pah – Oliver
One Brick At A Time – Barnum
Check out the music from Sister Act (the musical that has just started on Broadway) there are a few upbeat female songs in that.
