Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical
The Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical was an award presented annually at the Lucille Lortel Awards to honor an actor for excellence in a leading role in an Off-Broadway musical production. The categories for lead performance were split into Outstanding Lead Actor in a Play and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical in 2014, before being retired in favor of gender-neutral categories in 2021.
Before the categories were split, several musical performers won or received nominations for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor. Winners include Boyd Gaines and Joel Hatch, and nominees include Deven May, Norbert Leo Butz, Hunter Foster and Josh Grisetti and Sahr Ngaujah.
Conrad Ricamora was the only performer to receive multiple nominations in the category, nominated for both Here Lies Love in 2014 and Soft Power in 2020.
