After reading the New York Times article on 3 Elphabas getting nominated for Tonys this morning, I was curious how often actors who have appeared in Wicked have gotten nominated for Tonys overall?
Doing some research, I could find 16instances of Elphabas getting nominated for Tonys, compared to9 instances of Glindas receiving Tony nominations. Fiyeros have received 9 Tony nominations, and Boqs 9.
Since the The Wizard and Madame Morrible are roles for actors further along in their careers, those are the Wicked actors who currently have the most Tony nominations. Wizards have 31nominations and Madame Morribles have26 nominations.
Specifics are below. Since I was looking at people who performed in Wicked beyond just Broadway, I assume the list is incomplete.
This is the kind of useless information I live for.
Small gripe- Alli Mauzey should be on the Glinda list- she was robbed of a Tony nom last year for Kimberly Akimbo (wouldn't have won, but should have been recognized). Her Glinda is one of the best, and she and Donna Vivino cooked up some great Wicked slime- one of the best.
I thought of this too! Another small gripe, had Alexandra Socha continued with Fun Home, she would almost surely be on this list. But what good are what ifs. Megan should have another notch on her belt this time next year.
