They didn't start announcing the nominees until 1956. Thomas Mitchell played the role of Enoch Downer, the doctor, who was sort of a character lead in Hazel Flagg. I imagine that his co-star John Howard, the romantic lead, was Mitchell's main competition for the Tony. George Gaynes was the male lead in Wonderful Town, and Jack Cassidy was the male lead in Wish You Were Here, but since both were below the title, it's hard to know if they were considered candidates for Best Actor in a Musical. Maybe Mitchell got the award by default.
