i thought it was olive and barfee, but when Celia and dan were nominated for a tony, it was for best featured actors, so who else would it be? Rona? Panch? Can I get some opinions up in here?
Some shows do not have a clear lead. I would say that Barfee and Olive have the largest part of the narrative, partly because they last the longest. Despite this, they are still featured roles.

Because Tony rules state as a default that actors whose names are above the title are "lead" and actors whose names are below the title are "featured". There is no "supporting actor" category. If Billy Porter were to play Mitch Mahoney with his name above the title, he would be "lead".
Well, only until the producers petition for correct placement.
