I was looking at a picture of these 5 very attractive Gentlemen and was wondering if this is the youngest group of nominees in this category?
Anyone with time on their hands to research this?

The Actresses are also rather a young group.

I don't have the time to comb through every year, but if anyone else wants to do some work, for reference the average (mean) age this year for the actors is 34.8 years old.

I can't figure out the actresses because I don't know how old Valisia LeKae is. But without outlier Carolee Carmello, who is 50, it would be quite low.

MEAN AGE OF NOMINEES:
Best Actor in a Musical (In Progress):
2000: 49.2
2001: 38
2002: 50.8
2003: 41.4
2004: 34.6
2005: 50.8
2006: 38
2007: 37.6
2008: 40.6
2009: 32.3*
2010: 41.8
2011: 37.4
2012: 44
2013: 34.8

*I counted the Billys as one nominee, with their ages averaged.

I can't find Valisia LeKae's age either, so that was an issue. Without LeKae, the average age is 36.3, not high at all, but it's true that Carmello brings it up and I'm sure LeKae would bring it back down a little. Maybe someone else will research the Best Actress ages. I'd also be interested in statistics for the Leading Actor/Actress in a Play categories. I'd bet they're generally a bit older.
