The script in question was that of Gypsy. With lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Arthur Laurents and music by Jule Styne, it was first staged in 1959, and – boasting such classic songs such as Let Me Entertain You and Everything's Coming Up Roses – it is regarded by many as the best musical of all time. It has since been revived countless times on Broadway and in the West End, winning innumerable awards. And it is now being revived in a major new production at Chichester Festival Theatre, with Pulver tackling the role of Louise, based on striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, whose memoirs about her mother inspired the show.
