Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Okay, we'll do the CSR first. What actor plays Valjean in the "Complete Symphonic Recording" of "Les Miserables"?

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.
2. What actor plays Inspector Javert in the "Complete Symphonic Recording" of "Les Miserables"?

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.
3. What actor plays The Bishop of Digne in the "Complete Symphonic Recording"?

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".
4. Debbie Byrne plays Madame Thenardier in the "Complete Symphonic Recording".

Answer: False

Debbie Byrne played Fantine in CSR. Gay Soper was Mme. Thenardier.
5. Kenny D'Aquila is the actor in the "Complete Symphonic Recording" for what (sometimes) little-recognized main role?

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!
6. Which recording of "Les Miserables" is Kaho Shimada in?

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?"
7. Which of these actors is in the "Complete Symphonic Recording" (or CSR)?

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.)
8. In the "Complete Symphonic Recording", instead of singing "Ain't you all delighted now?" Kaho Shimada sings, "______ ___ ___ delighted now?"

Answer: Aren't you all

Seems like she was taking her "Correct Use of English" classes a little too seriously to me.
9. Who plays Marius in the "Complete Symphonic Recording"?

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.
10. In the "Complete Symphonic Recording", a balloon pops in the middle of Cosette's "Castle on a Cloud."

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.
11. Which person said: "Now look who's here!" in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"? (I mean the actor, not the character.)

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.
12. Which one of these songs was not in the "Complete Symphonic Recording"?

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.
13. Which actress did not know English at the time she recorded the "Complete Symphonic Recording"?

Answer: Kaho Shimada

It's amazing; extremely hard to tell that she doesn't know English. She's so good at it!
14. Okay. On to the "Tenth Anniversary Concert" edition of "Les Miserables"! Who played Jean Valjean in said recording?

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.
15. Who acts as Inspector Javert in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"?

Answer: Philip Quast

In my opinion the QUINTESSENTIAL Javert. Doubtless.
16. Which of these act one songs does not appear at all in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert" recording?

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?"
17. Which of THESE songs from the entire musical (sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean from Act I...) does not appear at all in the Tenth Anniversary Concert's recording?

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".
18. Which of these songs from act two does not appear at all in the Tenth Anniversary Concert's recording?

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".
19. What actress plays Young Cosette in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"?

Answer: Hannah Chick

Yes, in the TAC is when the balloon pops. Oops. That's the next question's info.
20. In the "Tenth Anniversary Concert" recording, a balloon pops in the middle of Cosette's "Castle on a Cloud."

Answer: True

Ahem. Yes, in the TAC is when the balloon pops.
21. Which of these actresses plays OLD (okay, she's not old, she's still around, oh, say, 16, 17...) Cosette in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"?

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.
22. The Thenardiers are played by what Cockney-accent-laden couple in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"?

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".
23. Which actress plays Eponine in the "Tenth Anniversary Concert"?

Answer: Lea Salonga

You know, the one that other people complain sounds too angry. Everybody has their different interpretations, people.
24. Who plays old Cosette in the Complete Symphonic Recording?

Answer: Tracy Shayne

She has the perfect voice, especially when she goes really high. Like on the "After ALL!" in "Every Day."
25. Who plays young Cosette in the Complete Symphonic Recording?

Answer: Marissa Dunlop

NOT Hannah Chick.
