Results: A Double Double With A Side Of Musical Theatre

Tim Hortons, the coffee and doughnut chain that seems to be on every street corner in Canada is famous for a lot of things: Coffee, launching the phrase "double double" and Timbits, but its next venture is decidedly out there. Tim Hortons is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a musical "The Last Timbit" coming to the Elgin Theatre in Toronto, Ontario this June. The musical runs from June 26 to 30, and tickets are selling like (well maybe not like hotcakes) doughnuts. Have you heard about this musical and do you plan to go?

The production is loosely based on a 2010 snowstorm that was so bad, drivers on a highway east of Sarnia, Ont,. were forced to hunker down in cars and others had to wait out the inclement weather at a local Tim Hortons.

Michael Rubinoff, the theatre producer who turned the story of passengers on planes diverted to Gander, Nfld. after the 9/11 attacks in New York into the hit musical Come From Away, is the producer, with a cast that features Stratford and Shaw festival regulars Andrew Broderick and DeAnn deGruijter, as well as Broadway stars Kimberly-Ann Truong, Jake Epstein and Chilina Kennedy.
