The ensemble of the original ON THE TOWN was also racially integrated, but as far as "color blind" casting, I think Sono Osato may indeed be the first example, as presumably the role of "ivy Austin" was not written or conceived to be played by an Asian (or part-Asian) woman.

Sono Osato played Ivy Smith.
Ivy Austin played Raggedy Ann.
