"Les Miserables" Actors, Part One Quiz

Answer: Gary Morris

Gary Morris is the "Complete Symphonic Recording" Jean Valjean instead of Colm Wilkinson, because Colm had already been in two recordings. However, the producers had Colm in the later "10th Anniversary Cast" edition of "Les Miserables", which ruined the idea of two recordings being the limit.

Answer: Philip Quast

I don't really like Terrence Mann, and I have not heard Roger Allam or Stephen Bishop. Mann is the "Original Broadway Cast" Javert, and Allam is the "Original London Cast" Javert. Bishop is just another Javert.

Answer: Ken Caswell

All of the incorrect answers for this question (Gary Beach, Reece Holland, and Raymond Saar) WERE in the recording as members of the chain gang in the CSR of "Les Miserables".

Answer: False

Debbie Byrne played Fantine in CSR. Gay Soper was Mme. Thenardier.

Answer: Grantaire

Anthony Crivello and Clive Carter are also Grantaires. If you chose Feuilly, Combeferre, or Courfeyrac, I didn't mean THAT little-recognized of a role!

Answer: "Complete Symphonic Recording"

Kaho Shimada was still learning English at the time the "Complete Symphonic Recording" was being recorded. But you don't have to listen that carefully to hear her one mistake. She goes a bit too far with her perfect English speaking, and, instead of "Ain't," she says, "Aren't," at the part where the text reads "Ain't you all excited now?"

Answer: Jenna Russell

Jenna Russell is one of the Paris Women in the CSR. Jenny Galloway is Mme. Thenardier in the "Tenth Anniversary Cast" (TAC). Jennifer Butt is Mme. Thenardier in the "Original Broadway Cast" (OBC). Jesse Corti is a drinker in the "Original London Cast" (OLC). (Keep Jesse Corti's part in mind, because he's gonna pop up in my next quiz.)

Answer: Aren't you all

Seems like she was taking her "Correct Use of English" classes a little too seriously to me.

Answer: Michael Ball

All of the wrong answers except for David Bryant are Enjolrases, with the same first name as the two Mariuses given, which were David Bryant and Michael Ball.

Answer: False

For those of you who thought it was true, you're clearly mixed up with the "Tenth Anniversary Cast" edition. In the TAC, it was recorded live, and a balloon popped that was supposed to be set loose in the bows. Little Hannah Chick (playing Cosette at the time), however, was unperturbed. She jumped a mile physically, but you couldn't hear anything.

Answer: Jenny Galloway

Jenny Galloway was a PERFECT actress during "Master of the House". She was boisterous all through it. If only she could've carried some of that HUGE LADY BOISTEROUSNESS over to "Beggars at the Feast" she would have been perfect.

Answer: I Saw Him Once

"I Saw Him Once" is a song that most people haven't heard, because it only comes on the OLC ("Original London Cast"). I have not listened to the OLC. I've listened to all of the others, though.

Answer: Kaho Shimada

It's amazing; extremely hard to tell that she doesn't know English. She's so good at it!

Answer: Colm Wilkinson

This version of "Les Miserables" sort of ruined the pattern the producers set. Gary Morris is the "Complete Symphonic Recording" Jean Valjean instead of Colm Wilkinson, because Colm had already been in two recordings. However, the producers had Colm in this edition of "Les Miserables", which sorta ruined the idea of two recordings being the limit.

Answer: Philip Quast

In my opinion the QUINTESSENTIAL Javert. Doubtless.

Answer: The Robbery

For all of the wrong answers, I chose songs that had two names, and I put the name that most people do not identify the song by. "The Work Song" is the "Prologue". "The ABC Cafe" is "Red & Black". "The Trial" is "Who Am I?"

Answer: Runaway Cart

Again, for all of the wrong answers, I chose songs that had two names, and I put the name that most people do not identify the song by. "Valjean's Soliloquy" is "What Have I Done?". "The Night" is "Drink With Me". "The Sewers" is "Dog Eat Dog".

Answer: Upon These Stones

Again, for all of the wrong answers, I chose songs that had two names, and I put the name that most people do not identify the song by. "Upon These Stones 2" is "At the Barricade". "Students' Deaths" is "Final Battle". "Epilogue" is "Finale".

Answer: Hannah Chick

Yes, in the TAC is when the balloon pops. Oops. That's the next question's info.

Answer: True

Ahem. Yes, in the TAC is when the balloon pops.

Answer: Judy Kuhn

I don't like her as much as Tracy (no matter what MOST people say). And I have perfect pitch so you should listen to me.

Answer: Jenny Galloway and Alun Armstrong

I'm not sure whether I like this couple better or Gay Soper/Barry James. Probably the latter, with the exception of "Master of the House".

Answer: Lea Salonga

You know, the one that other people complain sounds too angry. Everybody has their different interpretations, people.

Answer: Tracy Shayne

She has the perfect voice, especially when she goes really high. Like on the "After ALL!" in "Every Day."

Answer: Marissa Dunlop

NOT Hannah Chick.
