I totally disagree with everything you said about Harry Haddon-Paton. Higgins has qualities that you're not supposed to like but by the last third of the show I had some sympathy for Higgins as played by Haddon-Paton because we saw his vulnerability and his realization of what he may lose without Eliza. I certainly enjoyed his singing and physicality and his being younger made the relationship between Eliza and Higgins less creepy. I also did not find his singing nasal at all. And I didn't think once of Rex Harrison while watching him. He made the part his own.
I hope he or Ethan Slater wins the Tony for best actor in a musical. |
