Before diving into this gigantic list of brilliant people, be sure to check out the (also brilliant) nominees for the MyTV Awards, MyCinema Awards and MyTheatre Awards in London, New York and Boston. MyTheatre’s Toronto branch makes up the largest portion of our site-wide awards season by a pretty large margin. Without even factoring in […]
2015 pop culture is best summarized using four words: Star Wars. Adele. Hamilton.* With a cast recording that graced Billboard charts as the #1 rap album and #9 album for top sales, an indefinite sold-out run and multiple presidential visits, Hamilton is an unstoppable phenomenon.

If you have avoided learning the major plot details of Harry Potter, congratulations, you are like a unicorn who made it to December 25 without hearing any Christmas music! Be aware that this […]
