I need to put together a selection of Broadway songs for a choir concert for kids from ages 6 through 18 and I've run out of ideas once I picked through Wicked, Aida, and Phantom of the Opera. If anyone on here can think of some suggestions (solos and duets would be wonderful also!), I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :)

Songs I've done with that age group:
Let Me Entertain You - Gypsy

Anything Goes - Anything Goes
Seasons of Love - Rent
Happiness - You're A Good Man Charlie Brown
Just One Person - Snoopy
We Go Together - Grease
We're All In This Together - High School Musical
Spoonful of Sugar - Mary Poppins
Circle of Life & Hakuna Matata - Lion King

There’s No Business Like Show Business - Annie Get Your Gun
I Won't Grow Up - Peter Pan
You Can't Stop The Beat - Hairspray (I edited out Penny & Edna's parts for time)
Heart and Music - A New Brain
Our Time - Merrily We Roll Along
We Are The World (no show)
Ain't No Mountain High Enough (no show)
Reach (For the Stars) - S Club 7 (kids group, not a show)
Duets (just suggestions, I have't done these):
Anything You Can Do - Annie Get Your Gun
Bosom Buddies - Mame
Kindred Spirits - Anne of Green Gables
Sisters - White Christmas
Stepsisters Lament - Cinderella
A Whole New World - Aladdin

Solos, there are just tooooo many to choose from. If you tell me what voices and ages you have to work with maybe I can make better suggestions.
There are tons more, but I'm not sure what you're looking for and what's ok :-) http://sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_fastresults.html?cart=34065537763507553 That site has a lost of songbooks and they always list all the songs in them. I would buy them from Amazon or somewhere else because they always sell them at list price whereas Amazon sells cheaper but this site give more info. Amazon never gives a complete list of the contents.
good luck,
Marianne

Itunes! Anytime I need to find songs, even if I am not going to purchase them - I look in Itunes. Do a search on Broadway Songs or something like that.
