She presented her one-woman show, Just Liz, at the Chichester Festival Theatre and the Duke of York's Theatre in London. She starred in an extensive US tour of The King and I and performed at the Kennedy Center before President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy. In 1986 she returned to Broadway with the Kern revue, which ran for 24 performances and proved to be her last Broadway appearance to date. Robertson made her Broadway debut in Dance a Little Closer, the disastrous 1983 musical adaptation of Idiot's Delight by Charles Strouse and her husband, Alan Jay Lerner, that closed on opening night. Other London theatre credits include I Love My Wife, My Fair Lady, Jerome Kern Goes to Hollywood, Song and Dance, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Music Man. Robertson's West End career began with A Little Night Music, directed by Hal Prince, and the revue Side By Side By Sondheim, which she subsequently took to Toronto with Georgia Brown. Shortly afterward, she joined a dance group called The Go-Jo's, and a year later she became the lead singer and dancer of BBC Two's The Young Generation. Robertson's first professional employment was as a cabaret dancer at London's Savoy Hotel at the age of 16. Born in Ilford, Essex, Robertson began training at the Finch Stage School at the age of three.
