The best performance I saw this spring was Steve Hendrickson's turn as Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady at Ten Thousand Things. The actor built Higgins from the inside out and showed the shattering transformation of a man who allows himself to be vulnerable.

Steve Hendrickson struts with a taut understanding of Professor Henry Higgins, a mercurial boor whose self-obsessed genius allows him deeds of cruel indifference. He treats the London underclass as mere amusements for his observation and categorization. Yet, we see the small flame of humanity in his advocacy for education, manners and proper carriage as means of striving for a better station in life.

Steve Hendrickson is more conventionally cast as the supremely self-important Henry Higgins, but he, too, finds little hints of vulnerability and doubt in the role.

Hendrickson plays [Henry Higgins] as superior, self-satisfied, and in no way sympathetic.
