Nothing Suits NPH Like a Musical Number

We here in the studio are big Neil Patrick Harris fans (because we are human beings who live and breathe and have eyes and ears). So of course there isn’t much that he does that we would not delight in. However, there is nothing quite so exciting as watching NPH do a musical number – a form in which he is as suited as a fish is to water. So, we were thrilled when we heard that NPH’s show, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ (on CBS – a fave even if it didn’t have the wondrous Neil) was going to feature a big musical number for him to lead, to be performed by not only him, but the rest of the cast and a chorus that wouldn’t be out of place tapping it up on 42nd Street. And sure enough, when the video aired, it did not disappoint; charming, hilariously funny, filled with high kicks and of course NPH in great form (and great voice!) leading the way. We eagerly await the day that some producer finds a way for him to come back to the Great White Way in his very own star vehicle (we vote for ‘Barnum’ or ‘The Music Man’), but until then, we’ll just watch this clip on repeat.
