With the Hamilton men and now Stokes, Porter, Henry and Dixon, could the Featured Actor in a Musical category potentially be 100% black?

Well it's been all white many times. So I guess I would and wouldn't be surprised at the same time.

One of those HAMILTON men could be Jonathan Groff, so...
Plus, surely there will be other men in other Musicals this season. I would normally expect a category dominated by one or two shows exclusively to occur in a very top-heavy season with few stand-out shows.

^Like this past year where Featured Actor in a Musical had two people from An American in Paris (Brandon Uranowitz and Max von Essen) along with two people from Something Rotten! (Christian Borle and Brad Oscar).

This casting is phenomenal. 3 have Tony's (8 between them) and I think Joshua should have won for Violet. I don't know anything about the show, but it sounds like if they'll be doing the original show plus some documentarian bits on the side, it would be classified as a revival.
As to an all-black Featured Actor Tony category, I think Gavin Creel may sneak in (and possibly Jonathan Groff although he's only in 8 minutes of Hamilton) but it seems like it definitely could happen; Hamilton and Shuffle Along and maybe The Color Purple? I don't like the show so I can't even recall if any of the men are big enough parts for nominations.

Shuffle Along is NOT a revival. I can garauntee that. It's the MAKING of Shuffle Along.

Brandon Victor Dixon was nominated for his role as Harpo.

Broadwaystar2, you cannot guarantee anything and it is silly for you to suggest otherwise. If Scott Rudin is strategizing and shaping his production to be a revival, there is at least a reasonable chance he knows more than you do and will get what he wants. People who become the president of major studios while still in the twenties have a habit of getting what they want.

@Broadwaystar2-garauntee all you want. I was talking about guaranteeing.
@pinto-let's focus first on getting you out of school while you are still in your twenties.
