The Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical was an annual award given to the best featured actor in a musical on Broadway or Off-Broadway, as determined by Outer Critics Circle. The award was established in 1997 as "Best Featured Actor in a Musical," before formally changing to "Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical" in 1999.[1]
The award was retired in 2022 and replaced by Outstanding Featured Performer in a Broadway Musical and Outstanding Featured Performer in an Off-Broadway Musical in gender-neutral performance categories.[2]
André De Shields is the only performer to win this award twice, while Shuler Hensley, Danny Burstein and Christoper Fitzgerald each received the most nominations with three each; all three won one award from their three nominations.
