My Fair Lady at The Bristol Hippodrome

AMY Nuttall and Lisa O'Hare will both play the role of 'Eliza Doolittle' in Cameron Mackintosh and the National Theatre's landmark production of Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady at The Bristol Hippodrome from Tuesday, January 24 to Saturday, February 18.

Due to Amy's ongoing recording commitments for her forthcoming solo album she will be sharing the vocally demanding role of 'Eliza' with Lisa O'Hare.

Amy Nuttall is probably best known for her role as 'Chloe Atkinson' in "Emmerdale". However, she first worked for Cameron when she understudied and played 'Christine' in the national tour of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.

Lisa O'Hare comes direct to My Fair Lady from understudying and playing the title role in Cameron and Disney's West End production of "Mary Poppins".

Amy and Lisa join Christopher Cazenove as 'Professor Higgins', Russ Abbot as 'Alfred P Doolittle' (until 4 February), Hannah Gordon as 'Mrs Higgins' and Stephen Moore as 'Colonel Hugh Pickering'.

My Fair Lady has lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe and is adapted from Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion" and Gabriel Pascal's motion picture.

It is directed by Trevor Nunn and has choreography and musical staging by Matthew Bourne, with sets and costumes designed by Anthony Ward and lighting designed by David Hersey.

The musical supervisor is Stephen Brooker and the orchestrations are by William David Brohn, with the dance-music arranged by Chris Walker. The sound is by Paul Groothuis.

Cameron Mackintosh/National theatre production of Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady is produced by David Ian for Clear Channel Entertainment, NETworks Presentations and Cameron Mackintosh.
