Reviews:
"Nick Sandys seems born to play Higgins, the phonetics expert whose encyclopedic knowledge of how words are formed doesn't keep him from using them as blunt-force weapons." Chicago Tribune (3.5/4 stars)
"Nick Sandys, Remy Bumppo’s artistic director — and this production’s Henry Higgins — was made for the role. An Englishman born and bred, he demonstrated his mastery beyond any doubt when he starred in last summer’s Light Opera Works production of “My Fair Lady,” and rendered both the songs and dialogue to bristling perfection." Highly recommended -- Chicago Sun-Times
"Remy Bumppo Theatre Company's superbly acted production... bristles with intelligence, passion, and hilarity. Nick Sandys is a dynamic Higgins, whose admiration for his "creation" forces him to confront his own shortcomings..." Chicago Reader
"... the wonderful Nick Sandys in a performance that practically flays the character alive,... Sandys is a good looking fellow with a sonorous, dulcet voice, and yet his Higgins is so patently unattractive a human being as to dispel any and all notions that this story is a “romantic comedy" ... Sandys and Brennan both deliver very funny performances,..." Time Out Chicago
