Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Performer in an Off-Broadway Musical

The Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Performance by a Featured Performer in an Off-Broadway Musical is an honor presented at the Outer Critics Circle Awards, a ceremony established in 1950 for excellence in Broadway productions, to actors for quality featured roles in a musical play, whether a new production or a revival. The awards replaced the former awards for Outstanding Featured Actor and Actress in a Musical in 2022, voting to establish distinct Broadway and Off-Broadway gender-neutral categories.
