At the Creative Arts Awards, a special ceremony held prior to the main event and broadcast online at www.tonyawards.com, British theatre talent continued to shine as Billy Elliot won in six categories - including Rick Fisher for Best Lighting Design of a Musical and Paul Arditti for Best Sound Design of a Musical. The award for Best Sound Design of a Play went to Gregory Clark for Equus, while the award for Best Lighting Design of a Play went to US lighting designer Brian MacDevitt for Joe Turner's Come and Gone.
