Acting in Plays, Singing/Quirky pieces for my final recital

Question
I am a soprano, currently studying a music degree in classical voice and am planning repertoir for my final recital.  I am looking for some interesting, lighter, perhaps comic pieces for the second half of my performance.  I have been looking at broadway songs but would like to find something that not everyone knows or has heard before.  Do you have any suggestions of songs or works which are a bit out of the ordinary?

Answer
These are opera arias but may be interesting to look into.  
Lucy's Aria from the Telephone
Fair Robin I Love from Tartuffe.

Both of these I have performed as ending pieces to recitals and have been a delight!

If you still have your heart set on Broadway let me know.
