The award was separated from Off-Broadway productions, which received its own category, in 2017, when the awards were renamed in honor of Chita Rivera.[1] The award was replaced by the gender-neutral Chita Rivera Award for Outstanding Dancers in a Broadway Show in 2023.[2]
Gregg Burge, Norbert Leo Butz, Jared Grimes and Tony Yazbeck each won the award two times, the most of any performer. Hugh Jackman, Butz, Ephraim Sykes and Yazbeck hold the record for most nominations in the category, with three each.
