The
Drama Desk Award
for Outstanding
Actress
in a
Musical
was an annual award presented by Drama Desk in recognition of achievements in theatre across collective
Broadway
,
off-Broadway
and
off-off-Broadway
productions in
New York City
. The award was one of eight new acting awards first presented in 1975, when Drama Desk retired an earlier award that had made no distinction between work in
plays
and musicals, nor between actors and actresses, nor between lead performers and featured performers.
After the 2022 ceremony, all eight acting categories introduced in 1975 were retired. The award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, along with
Outstanding Actor in a Musical
, were replaced in 2023 with the
gender neutral
category of
Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical
.
