I don't agree about Michael Caine. As good as he is I have never heard him do a trully posh accent, and this part 100% has to be.
sharei dont think michael caine either but maybe ricard gere? he can sing and has the rite look and could play a charcter like higgins pretty well i think. i loved him in chicago!
"am i dead? i this heaven?"
"no this is just disney land painted white"
Remember Zulu?
shareSomeone like Rex, in figure as well as in acting and can give a good believeable performance. No one whose hugely popular because then it would be about them not Henry Higgins.

Ah, now Rickman is one of the first names I've seen here that got me nodding yes. But I'd also like to suggest Jeremy Irons, who has actually done an album of the songs from this show, released in 1987 on Decca.
shareyesss, you have superb taste.
