Tony Awards Presenter Music

Hey, could you guys help me identify some of the music that is used often when presenters walk in to present or when winners walk to the stage to accept?

I can tell that 'Younger than Springtime' is often used and 'Put on a Happy Face' as is the case in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=6631

But I've always wanted to know what some of the other cues are. It would seem that they have been used for decades. For convenience sake let's assign a letter to each piece of music:

a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=483

b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=1087

c) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=2346

d) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=3748

e) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d5YUhlHRF7o#t=5003

f) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=laSxK51T86s#t=1085

g) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=laSxK51T86s#t=657

Of course there are more examples but my immense thanks to anyone who can help me with this

The song in clip "b" is the song "Lovely" from a Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Larry Fishburne, Lost in the Stars, LOST IN THE STARS
Laura Linney, Lovely, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Marisa Tomei, All the Things You Are, VERY WARM FOR MAY

I'll Buy You a Star from A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN is an oft-used presenter fanfare.

Jay - I love you for starting this thread. I've wondered about these intro themes before as well. I feel like "Lovely" from FORUM - which I had not correctly identified - has been used dozens of times. Also, MissPoochSmooch, if you're a BWW'er, thank you for all the wonderful uploads on YT!
