Funny Girl's Samantha loves making a song and dance

It's just nice to sit down says Samantha Spiro as she grabs the phone for the interview.

She's stright out of rehearsals for Funny Girl, the season opener at Chichester Festival Theatre, in which she plays Fanny Brice.

And it's that kind of show. Very energetic.

"There is so much to it," she says catching her breath. "It has got a bit of everything-especially a brilliant, brilliant score."
