The lineup of presenters and performers at this Sunday's Tony Awards represents the wide array of shows on Broadway this season. There will be performances from the four nominated new musicals — "Billy Elliot," "Next to Normal," "Rock of Ages" and "Shrek" — as well as the quartet of revivals — "Guys and Dolls," "Hair," "Pal Joey" and "West Side Story" — contending for theater's top honor. In addition, the three-hour Tonycast on CBS will highlight the success of touring productions of long-running tuners.

Accompanying David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish — the three Tony-nominated teens who alternate playing the title role in "Billy Elliot" — will be the show's Tony-contending composer Elton John. This is John's third Tony bid after a loss for "The Lion King" in 1996 and a win for "Aida" in 2000.

Broadway newcomer Dolly Parton penned the songs for "9 to 5" and picked up a Tony nod for her efforts. While the show was snubbed for the top award of best musical, the cast will be joining Parton for a lively rendition of her Oscar-nominated title tune.

Poison will be performing with the cast of "Rock of Ages," an affectionate look back at the big hair, big sound rock bands of the 1980s. That show landed a surprise best musical nod at the expense of "9 to 5." And "American Idol" also-ran Constantine Maroulis earned a lead actor nom as well.

Among his competition is "Shrek" star Bryan D'Arcy James, who will be performing the number "What's Up, Duloc" along with the rest of the cast of this toon-come-to-life tuner, including Tony nominees Sutton Foster and Christopher Sieber.

Best musical actress front-runner Alice Ripley will sing a song from "Next to Normal," the critically acclaimed new musical about a woman dealing with bipolar disorder. Joining Ripley onstage will be her Tony-nominated castmates J. Robert Spencer and Jennifer Damiano, among others. 

Another contender for the musical actress award is Stockard Channing, who won a Tony for her work in the play "Joe Egg" in 1985 and has competed four more times on that front since. This theater vet received her first musical nod for the revival of "Pal Joey," and she will be singing a number from that glorious Rodgers & Hart show.

Two-time musical actress Tony winner Liza Minnelli ("Flora the Red Menace," 1965; "The Act," 1978) made a triumphant return to the rialto last fall in a one-woman show at the Palace Theatre. She is nominated for special theatrical event and will be performing a number from that hit show.
