Broadway songs for 12-15 year old boys

My studio suddenly has a handful of younger boys, several with recently-changed voices, and one who is not there yet.

I’m building a list of songs that are appropriate for them, both vocally and temperamentally.  I’m looking for texts that are also age-appropriate.

Here goes, with what I’ve taught in the last few months (song, show):

• Just one person, Snoopy
• Giants in the sky, Into the Woods
• Wonderful day like today, Roar of the Greasepaint
• That kind of a day, Sheldon Harnick song book
• Leaning on a lamppost, Me and My Girl
• If I ruled the world, Pickwick
• Love I hear, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
• There’s me, Starlight Express
• If the world only knew, Scott Evan Davis
• Edwina, Edwina
• I’m home, Captains Courageous
• When I get my name in lights, The Boy from Oz
• Just wasn’t meant to happen, Calvin Berger (or any of Calvin’s songs)
• Sara Lee, Kander and Ebb songbook
• Try me, She Loves Me
• Rhyme for Angela, Firebrand of Florence
• It’s not where you start, Seesaw
• The kite, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
• Suppertime, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
• Put on a happy face, Bye Bye Birdie
• All my devices, Stephanie Salzman
