## Resource

Caissie Levy’s Tony win for Ragtime wasn’t just about the spotlight—it was a heartfelt shout-out to the unsung heroes keeping her family grounded: her babysitters, former students turned surrogate sisters, and her supportive husband. As a mom of two, she revealed how stepping away from Lost Boys was necessary to be present for her kids during a tough school year. Her acceptance speech celebrated the quiet magic of those who make Broadway dreams possible while raising little ones—proving that true success is built on teamwork, love, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes hustle.
