Pretty much what the subject line says -- who are some folks (performers or other) who have been nominated for multiple Tony Awards, but have not won (whether it be "yet" or "never")?
So far, I've come up with:
Carolee Carmello - 2 (Parade, Lestat)
Charlotte D'Amboise - 2 (Jerome Robbins' Broadway, A Chorus Line)
Marc Kudisch - 2 (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)
Howard McGillin - 2 (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Anything Goes)
Daphne Rubin-Vega - 2 (Rent, Anna in the Tropics)
Patrick Wilson - 2 (The Full Monty, Oklahoma!)
Tim Curry - 3 (Amadeus, My Favorite Year, Spamalot)
Raul Esparza - 3 (Taboo, Company, The Homecoming)
Judy Kuhn - 3 (Les Miserables, Chess, She Loves Me)
Marin Mazzie - 3 (Passion, Ragtime, Kiss Me Kate)
Jeanine Tesori (Twelfth Night, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline or Change)
Gregg Edelman - 4 (City of Angels, Anna Karenina, 1776, Into the Woods)
Victor Garber - 4 (Deathtrap, Little Me, Lend Me a Tenor, Damn Yankees)
Stephen Schwartz - 6 (Pippin, Godspell, Working [Book and Score], Rags, Wicked)
Kelli O'Hara: nominated for Light in the Piazza, Pajama Game, and South Pacific.
Jane Greenwood, costume designer
15 nominations stretching back to 1965, no wins.
(Nominated for Tartuffe, More Stately Mansions, Hay Fever & Les Blancs, Medea, Heartbreak House, Our Town, Two Shakespearean Actors, The Sisters Rosensweig, She Loves Me, Passion, The Heiress, A Delicate Balance, Morning's at Seven, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Heartbreak House)
Carolee and Kelli both need to win one of these years...
and Judy Kuhn needs a hit show to make her comback to Broadway! Unfortunately, she was only in the Les Mis revival for a few months before it closed...
And of course the great John McMartin is forgotten again. 6 nominations.
I'm sure there are tons of names that could go on this list...it could get quite lengthy!
Dana Ivey (5)
Julie Andrews- 3 (My Fair Lady, Camelot, Victor/Victoria)
Yes, technically she declined her nomination for V/V, but her name was still on the ballot and could have won.
John McMartin was the first one to come to mind. I can't believe he has yet to win one of those buggers.
I'll also add the brilliant Kate Burton to the list.
It's still baffling to me that Victor Garber has yet to win a Tony.
Dana Ivey and Marin Mazzie definitely need one as well.
This list is sad when you consider some of the people who HAVE won Tonys.
I thought that this was about shows that had multiple Tony nominations and no wins.
I'd say the Granddaddy of them all would be the original production of "Chicago" that had ten or eleven nominations and didn't win one.

The real question is how many times has Susan Lucci been nominated for a Tony.
sondheimboy, another Kander and Ebb show, Steel Pier, also had like eleven nominations with no wins. and it, interestingly enough, was competing in some categories against the revival of Chicago.

I think Jonathan Tunick has been nominated several times and never one.
Tunick won the first year of the Tony Award for orchestrations for Titanic.

Jazzy, Tunick won in 1997 for his orchestrations for Titanic. (eta: beat me to it, Smaxie)
I sincerely thought that John McMartin had won a Tony. Wow.

Jane Greenwood never won? Wow! I always love her costumes...it's a shame she didn't get a nod for The Scarlet Pimpernel! One of the few shows that makes you look at the costumes .. alot!
