Casey Nicholaw: I think the misconception is that somebody—especially on an original musical—brings you a script. That Tina Fey brings you a script and says, “Here’s the script, here’s everything, now direct it.” You’re involved with it from the beginning. It was five years of our lives. That’s the norm. It’s like dominoes. You go “We gotta find this” and then you find it and you go “Sh*t now that doesn’t work now!” You’re also everybody’s therapist. You’re in charge of everyone and collaborating with everyone. It’s also really lonely.
