THR Interviews Kathryn Burns, The Emmy Nominated Choreographer of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

There are many special things about the musical numbers that they do on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. One of the biggest reasons is choreographer Kathryn Burns who has intersected the worlds of dance and comedy so wonderfully for so many years.

As she is now an Emmy nominee, The Hollywood Reporter chatted with her about ins-and-outs of crafting the routines on the show and all the other great work where she has put her dance and comedy chops to use.

As campaigning for The Emmys is heating up, The Hollywood Reporter is doing another round of their great, in-depth roundtable discussions.

Their latest brought together comedy actors that are Emmys contenders, which includes…

Jeffrey Tambor…

…Aziz Ansari…

…Jerrod Carmichael…

…Rob Lowe…

…Tony Hale…

…and Keegan Michael Key.

They touch on anything from representation of minorities to the most embarrassing moments, which Rob Lowe probably takes the cake with his dark secret (it’ll probably come up during his roast).
