- 1996 - Donna Murphy.
- El personatge que més s'apropa en nominacions és el de Mrs. Lovett de Sweeney Todd, amb 3, de les que només hi ha hagut una única victòria:
- 1979 - Angela Lansbury (guanyadora);
- 1990 - Beth Fowler;
- 2006 - Patti LuPone.

- 1966 - Gwen Verdon;
- 1986 - Debbie Allen;
- 2005 - Christina Applegate;
- Mary Martin és l'única actriu que ha guanyat en aquesta categoria interpretant un home. Va ser el 1955, quan va guanyar el Tony per la seva actuació al musical Peter Pan, interpretant a Peter Pan. Dues actrius més han estat nominades per aquest personatge:
- 1980 - Sandy Duncan;
- 1991 - Cathy Rigby;
- Chita Rivera és l'única actiu nominada al Tony per interpretar-se a si mateixa: el 2006 va ser honorada per la seva actuació en Chita Rivera: The Dancer’s Life, que oferia una retrospectiva de la seva carrera a Broadwy.
- Chita Rivera té el rècord de nominacions, amb 7, guanyant 2 premis. La segueix Bernardette Peters amb 6 nominacions, també guanyant-ne 2. El rècord de victòries, però, pertany a Angela Lansbury, amb 4 victòries de 4 nominacions.
Chita Rivera també té el rècord de més nominacions en una única dècada. Va ser nominada en 4 ocasions als 80: 1981, 1983, 1984 i 1986. Va guanyar el 1984 per la seva actuació a The Rink. Sutton Foster també va ser nominada en 4 ocasions als 2000: 2002, 2005, 2006 i 2009. Va guanyar el 2002 per Thoroughly Modern Millie. - Gwen Verdon és l'única actriu que ha aconseguit 2 victòries consecutives, el 1958 (compartit emb Thelma Ritter) i el 1959. Altres nominacions consecutives han estat Inga Swenson (1964/1965), Barbara Harris (1966/1967), Chita Rivera (1983/1984) i Sutton Foster (2005/2006).
- Tant Dee Hoty com Julie Andrews han estat nominades en 3 ocasions, però no han guanyat mai, figurant entre les grans perdedores. A més, Julie Andrews va rebutjar acceptar la seva tercera nominació per Victor/Victoria, al creure que la resta del repartiment i la producció del musical havien estat discriminats per la American Theatre Wing/Broadway League.
- Una de les gran guanyadores a la història dels Tony, Julie Harris, que va guanyar 5 Premis i 9 Nominacions a la categoria de millor actriu protagonista en una obra, va ser nominada en una ocasió com a Millor Actriu de Musical, el 1966, pel seu treball a Skyscraper, l'únic musical de Broadway en què va participar. No el va guanyar.
