Enjoy an afternoon in the company of one of MY FAIR LADY‘s leading Elizas, Liz Robertson!

Having started performing at a young age with the BBC’s YOUNG GENERATION, Liz’s West End career began playing Mrs Anderson in Hal Prince’s production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. She later went on to portray Eliza Doolittle in Cameron Mackintosh’s revival of MY FAIR LADY, touring the UK in 1978-79 – including to Leicester’s Haymarket Theatre! – before landing at London’s Adelphi Theatre, where she was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

Accompanied by pianist Simon Beck, Liz’s loverly return to Leicester will see her perform songs from MY FAIR LADY and recount personal tales from the production she starred in and her career spanning over 46 years. Liz will also share passages from the book THE STREET WHERE I LIVE, the autobiography of her late husband and MY FAIR LADY lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, retelling how the musical was created.

Book now for AN AFTERNOON WITH LIZ ROBERTSON, exclusively at Curve this festive season.

Running time: 1 hour and 20 minutes (no interval).
