Below, we bring you an exclusive interview with Casey NIcholaw, Best Choreography and Direction of a Musical nominee for Something Rotten!.

When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first MUSICAL!
