''*Note: [[William Daniels]], who starred as John Adams, was ruled ineligible for the Best Actor nomination because his name was not billed above the title of the show. He was nominated for Best Featured Actor, but refused the nomination.<ref>Mandelbaum, Ken.[http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=513006 The Insider] broadway.com</ref>''
