"Les Mis" Trivia Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lea Salonga

Did you know that Lea Salonga was not their first choice to do the concert? Frances Ruffelle was, but she was engaged in another play/movie.

Answer: Look Down

Even though Eponine appears in "Look Down", she does not sing. She is introduced as "That's Eponine, she knows her way about. Only a kid, but hard to scare."

Answer: Here, you can always catch me in.

Eponine says, "Here, you can always catch me in" in "The Robbery" to Marius, when she meets him on the streets. She is trying to flirt with him.

Answer: Scream

Eponine tries to tell them that robbing the house is worthless, but they don't listen, so she screams (good for her).

Answer: Take my hand, and lead me to salvation.

Eponine sings with Fantine and Valjean in the "Finale." Because their ghosts come to lead him away, they sing, "Take my hand, and lead me to salvation. Take my love, for love is everlasting. And remember, the truth that once was spoken, to love another person is to see the face of God." Those are really the last words in the musical, besides the choral parts.

Answer: Castle on a Cloud

Eponine makes her first appearance as a spoiled little girl in "Castle on a Cloud," and her mother praises her for "looking well in the little blue hat."

Answer: Here, you can always catch me in.

Eponine first sings in "The Robbery." She is having a conversation with Marius, trying to flirt with him, though unfortunately, he sees Cosette, and it's love at first sight. Poor Eponine.

Answer: Mezzo Soprano

In musical theatre, the main female character, who is usually the main love interest, is generally a soprano. And a character like Eponine (or a beggar, the best friend, a witch, the other woman who loves the same guy, or a maid), to make a contrast to the main female character, is generally a mezzo soprano.

A mezzo soprano's voice is usually richer and dark, in contrast to a high lovely soprano like Cosette.

Answer: Hollywood Bowl concert

Lea Michele played Eponine in the Hollywood Bowl concert, with Melora Hardin as Fantine, Maddie Levy as Young Cosette, Tom Lowe as Enjolras, Michele Maika as Cosette, Michael McCormick as Thénardier, J. Mark McVey as Valjean, Brian Stokes Mitchell as Javert, Sage Ryan as Gavroche and John Lloyd Young as Marius.

Answer: I believe I was a little bit in love with you.

OK, if you picked "And rain will make the flowers..." I completely understand, but this line is from the musical. I suggest you should read the book, as it's really good, although it's really, really long! Eponine's death scene is so sad. The book took me ages to read.
