Laura Pitt-Pulford: Theatre's Favourite Actress
After recently turning 40, Laura Pitt-Pulford has returned to the West End in a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black's Aspects of Love. This also marks the first time Laura has played a West End run of a show as a mother. In recent years, Laura has worked on various concert productions of musicals such as Gypsy at Alexandra Palace as Gypsy Rose Lee, The Witches of Eastwick as Jane Smart and also reprised Petra in A Little Night Music at Holland Park. She's been described as one of the most versatile and brilliant performers of her generation - often delivering showstopping numbers whilst also demonstrating a very natural talent for playing compelling characters. In Aspects of Love, she plays Rose, a struggling actress who finds herself in a love triangle with Alex played by Jamie Bogyo and his uncle George, played by West End icon Michael Ball.
In this brand new interview, Laura Pitt-Pulford opens up about her journey to becoming everyone's favourite theatre actress. She talks about the importance of being a good, reliable company member and praises her peers she's gotten to work with from veteran performers like Sally Ann Triplet and Janie Dee to newer faces on the scene like Jamie Bogyo and Alfie Friedman. In our interview, Laura also takes time to reflect on her roots as well as to talk about the experience of getting older as she looks forward to tackling roles that are to come her way. She also opens up as well about life now as a mother and a wife to fellow actor George Blagden who she worked with on Hampstead Theatre's Platinum. Throughout the conversation, Laura remains as charming as ever proving herself to be a great leading lady both on stage and off stage.
