Fantine is the first to die, and the only character to die in the first act. Eponine, Gavroche and Enjolras all die on the barricade.

2. Which animal does Thenardier refer to in his second act solo?

Answer: Dog

A tiger is referred to in Fantine's solo, 'I Dreamed A Dream'. Thenardier's song is called 'Dog Eats Dog', which is sung as he steals from the dead after the barricade scene.

Answer: Bread

In the prologue, it is revealed that he stole some bread to feed his starving family.

Answer: Valjean, Eponine, Enjolras, Javert

Although all of these characters sing at various times during 'One Day More', the first lines they sing are in this order.

6. Which of these lines is not sung in 'Master of the House'?
