His performance in "Violet" also brought nominations from the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama League Awards.

Henry, often referred to as "the Baritenor of Broadway" for his vocal range, has established a career as a recording artist. His debut album, "Grow," is available on streaming platforms, and his second studio album followed. He has opened for Diana Ross at the Hollywood Bowl and performed with Common at the Kennedy Center. Henry won a Grammy Award for his work as a principal vocalist on the Broadway revival cast recording of "Into the Woods."
Henry's performance as Coalhouse Walker, Jr. in the Tony-winning revival of "Ragtime" earned him his first Tony Award win. He won the Tony on his fourth nomination and also received Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for the role. The production received 11 Tony Award nominations, the second-highest of any show in its season, and also won Tony Awards for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical and Best Musical Revival.
