Costume designer Linda Cho, who was born in Soeul and raised in Toronto, is nominated for two Tonys in the same category.
She’s up for best costume design for her work on both “Ragtime” and “Schmigadoon!”
And Lee Kinney, who is from New Brunswick, is nominated for best sound design in a play for his work on the Adrien Brody-starring “The Fear of 13,” about a man on death row who was wrongfully convicted of murder.
