Danny Burstein and Kelli O'Hara have both become nine-time Tony nominees this season for their performances in Marjorie Prime and Fallen Angels, respectively. The former South Pacific co-stars have already won one apiece. This marks a record-breaking precedent for both performers in unique ways.

Danny Burstein has officially become the most-nominated male actor, having previously tied the record with Jason Robards Jr. The current record-holder for actresses is, of course, Audra McDonald at eleven. Rosemary Harris and Chita Rivera are tied with ten each.

Kelli O'Hara has been nominated for every single one of her eligible Broadway roles since 2005's The Light in the Piazza. No other performer has achieved a nine-time streak, including the three women cited above. Audra McDonald's sole miss throughout her career has been for Shuffle Along (2016). Chita Rivera broke an eight-time streak with The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2013). Rosemary Harris has been nominated off-and-on throughout a long and storied career and achieved a four-time streak.

Danny Burstein:

14) Had to see Just In Time before dear Jonathan left. I had an absolute blast and never wanted the show to end. 15) After the show with Groff and dear pal, David Dignazio, the soundboard op who also did Moulin Rouge. These men are both brilliant at what they do. Jonathan gives a performance I’ll remember for the rest of my life. He’s perfection.

moulinrougebway: Dylan Paul’s final Swing performances are here ❤️‍🔥

Here’s some of what he’s seen as an Original Broadway Cast Swing 📷

“Since Boston, I’ve covered Christian, The Duke, Zidler, F9, and F10. It has been incomparably chaotic and rewarding - The Rougual. I’ve stood by until minutiae numbed my brain and been thrown into the spotlight during the production’s most violent convulsions of mid-show callouts, COVID, cut tracks, injuries, administrative fiascos, and leaves. I’ve also played The Duke as a Broadway principal - my first. Being at the mercy of an event like this fuels my admiration for our company. They are generous humans and top-notch artists, performers, creatives, associates, stage managers, and crew. I want to especially recognize and thank our offstage company and understudies - I am endlessly impressed by your versatility and pluck. I will genuinely miss rehearsals. Thank you to all the staff at the Hirschfeld for making a second home that feels safe and welcoming. Thank you to our labor unions, which make a living wage possible. Thank you to the Baz Luhrmann film that made a kid from Kansas want to do musicals, and to the creative team, company managers, producers, and screaming audiences who made another Broadway dream come true. To every former and current cast member, please know that I deeply love the work we’ve done together. What an epic ride. I look forward to the show continuing to light up Broadway for many performances to come. Here are some things I’ve seen over the years: - My final dressing room as a Swing at the Hirschfeld. - Aaron Tveit looking up from the passarelle in rehearsal. - The OBC celebrates a “final” rehearsal. Open Jar, NYC. - Danny and Sonya in rehearsal. Emerson Colonial, Boston. - Setting *Toxic* in tech. Hirschfeld, NYC. - Lift call adventures - Aaron mid-air. - Broadway opening night. Baz exiting the mezz to join us. Possibly my favorite theatre photo ever. - The now-cut duo trapeze descent. Boston. - My first dressing room as a Swing. Boston, 2018. - On as The Duke. 📷 Avery Brunkus.”
