Performances and Presenters

Opening number

Harry Connick Jr. opened the show singing three popular songs from three Broadway musicals. Connick, (who was heavily medicated to be able to perform, because of a ruptured disc in his spine,), was also a nominee and a performer with the cast of The Pajama Game. Every one of the sixty presenters and co-hosts joined the stage during the third song. Connick performed "Tonight" (West Side Story), "Give My Regards to Broadway" (George M!), and "There's No Business Like Show Business" (Annie Get Your Gun).
