My Fair Lady: Henry Higgins
Les Miz: JVJ
The Phantom of the Opera: The Phantom

I believe that JVJ and the Phantom are opposite sides of the same coin: Brilliant men with much to give, at whom life threw sh-t. One overcame and learned to love, saving and enriching lives in the process. He truly made lemonade out of lemons. The other left chaos and misery in his wake, when he could easily have made similar choices to the other.

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

Has anyone ever suggested a revival where the sexes are swapped, the snobbish woman transforms the street guy?
