I usually focus on N.Y. or London awards of note (not so much L.A., D.C. or Chicago). ... And I stand corrected about Evans.

The one time I've seen Evans on Broadway is in the 2008 revival of ''Sunday in the Park With George,'' where he played the title role.

I assumed he played Frank in ''Merrily'' because he won Best Actor. I always think of Frank as being the lead role and Charlie being supporting.

''Merrily'' is the tale of 3 friends, but for me, the story revolves more around Frank's arc and how he changes the most (i.e., sells out, rationalizes).

It wasn't really all that much work. Just had to check on a couple of names I didn't remember and then check on the relevant awards. The first part was easy because of the info on ovrtur, and the second was pretty easy because of ProQuest. It took a bit of time, but less than I have spent on answers to a lot of other questions here over the years.

I agree that the show revolves around Frank's arc. Charley is a great role, and perhaps even a bigger role than some roles that I would consider leads, but functionally he is a supporting character.
