My Fair Lady originally opened on 15th March 1956 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York. Precisely 50 years later, the show finds itself at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. In celebration, at the end of the show on the 15th, a 50th Birthday cake will be cut by the current cast - Amy Nuttall (Eliza), Christopher Cazenove (Professor Higgins) and Gareth Hale (Alfred P Doolittle). They will be joined on stage by Liz Robertson who played Eliza in the first new production of My Fair Lady that Cameron Macintosh produced in London in 1979.
