The Hammer is proud that it's very own Caissie Levy is up for a 2026 Tony Award for her work in the musical Ragtime.
A number of other Canadians got the nod, including a few for the show Titaníque, which weaves Celine Dion songs into a parody of the Titanic movie. The production and cast feature a number of Canadians.
Hopefully a few Canucks will bring home the hardware at the awards show on Sunday June 7, 2026.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
