This is an OPINION!! SO that means NO bitching for those of you who have nothing better to do but sit around and tell people why their opinion sucks and why yours is better...
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering." --Harold Hill from The Music Man
John Adams in 1776 is leading, but William Daniels was nominated as featured, no wonder he turned it down.
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.

Rosemary from H2$ seeing as she's basically out of Act2 until the end..but she's the primary female..but Finch and Biggley are like overpowering the entire show lol
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
Many actors in leading roles have been nominated/made eligible in the featured category for reasons having nothing to do with their part size, i.e. not wanting to make two actors compete against each other in the same category, or wanting to give an actor a better shot at winning. For example, even though Linda in "Death of a Salesman" is a leading role, the producers asked that Elizabeth Franz be eligable at the Tonys as a "featured" actress since everyone knew Judi Dench would win that year as lead actress. The Tony commitee consented, and Franz ended up winning the featured actress award.
William Daniels was, I think, the one who basically changed the format of eligibility. Before him, it was pretty cut and dry: upove the title = lead, below = featured. (For example, if you can believe it, Carol Lawrence was nominated for featured actress as the original Maria in WSS, Tom Bosley won for featured actor for originating the title role in Fiorello!) When Daniels refused his Tony nomination as featured actor (since John Adams is most definitely the lead in 1776), I think that's when they started allowing producers to petition an actor for a particular category.
