Performances The show opened with a medley from most of the musicals that opened during the season, and included, as described [9] byThe New York Times, punk music, Frank Sinatra songs, Afrobeat rhythms, and early rock’n’roll. There were performances by the casts of the musicals nominated for both Best Musical and Revival:American Idiot, Fela!,Memphis,Million Dollar Quartet,La Cage aux Folles,A Little Night Music,Everyday RaptureandRagtime. Other performers were Lea Michele, who sang "Don't Rain On My Parade" and Matthew Morrison, who sang "All I Need Is the Girl", and punk rock band Green Day who performed "Know Your Enemy/Holiday". The casts ofCome Fly AwayandPromises, Promiseswere included in a presentation of choreography. Additionally, the nominees for [10][11] Best Play and Best Play Revival were presented by the performers from their respective plays.

Creative Arts Tony Awards Some of the Tony Awards, dubbed "The Creative Arts Tony Awards" were awarded prior to the CBS telecast. The [12] presentation was shown on a live webcast. Hosts for this portion of the ceremony were Karen Olivo and Gregory Jbara. Awards presented at this special ceremony included Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best [13][14] Orchestrations, Special Tony Awards and the eight design prizes.

Ineligibility rulings The Tony Administration Committee decided on April 30, 2010 that the scores ofAmerican IdiotandFela!were ineligible for Tony Award nominations because fewer than 50% of their scores were written for the stage [15] productions. On May 14, 2010, the Tony Award committee announced a withdrawal of nomination for Best Costume Design for Ragtime, stating that "...Santo Loquasto's designs for the revival of Ragtime are predominantly those from the original 1998 production, and therefore do not meet the Tony rule which states, work that 'substantially duplicate(s)' [16] work from a prior production is ineligible."
