Kelli O'Hara has been nominated for every single one of her eligible Broadway roles since 2005's The Light in the Piazza. No other performer has achieved a nine-time streak, including the three women cited above. Audra McDonald's sole miss throughout her career has been for Shuffle Along (2016). Chita Rivera broke an eight-time streak with The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2013). Rosemary Harris has been nominated off-and-on throughout a long and storied career and achieved a four-time streak.
