“Part of Your World”

Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (1989), from “The Little Mermaid”

“Home”

Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice (1994) from “Beauty and the Beast”

“She Used to Be Mine”

Sara Bareilles (2015), from “Waitress”

“Second Hand White Baby Grand”

Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (2012) from “Smash”

“Gimme Gimme”

Jeanine Tesori and Dick Scanlan (2002) from “Thoroughly Modern Millie”
