KRYSTA RODRIGUEZ (Spring Awakening)
CURTIS HOLBROOK (Xanadu)

DONNA MCKECHNIE (State Fair...years after she won the Tony for a show she had a lead in. Anyone know why this happened?)

Maybe it was because she did a lot of ensemble work after. Also I know A Chorus Line was still considered an Ensemble Musical so maybe that made her eligible. But I actually do not think it matters if you have been a lead. It just matters how much ensemble work you have done.
Current Avatar:The sensational Aaron Tveit in the soon to be hit production of Catch Me If You Can.

Posted: 4/11/09 at 11:00pmIt must have been on an ensemble contract then. That's how the recipient is determined.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 4/11/09 at 11:45pmAdrian Bailey, who received it in Little Mermaid shortly before his horrific accident in that show. I wonder if he perhaps might be the eldest recipient of the robe?
