I <3 this song!! It's so funny!

JimmySteller

You know, I love this song, but it's still quite morbid to think that the Thenardiers lost their children at the barricades yet they don't seem to care at all.

Jack Don

I looove how everyone, even the rest of the cast, joined in on the song and started clapping. Same with master of the house at the dream cast concert, the cast joined in on the chorus.

Bev Newham

just fab perfomances

Jacob Burke

@Azraelean Yes, actually in the novel the Thénardiers were the epitome of evil and the very bottom humane. And yes, both Gavroche and Éponine were there kids and both died at the barricades. But, that doesn't go to say we should at all feel bad for them because they were both so inhumane, words can't describe it. It's very odd. They go from the epitome of evil to the comedic role. I feel as though they should have kept their role as the epitome of evil in the musical too but whatever. 

Azraelean

In the musical thenardier was made a comedic role as opposed to in the book where he's much more morose and downtrodden. He lost two kids to the barricades.

It's a pun. "Breaking bread" means chatting or socializing, and the "upper crust" refers to the upper class.

Adam M

does anybody know what it means to "break bread with the upper crust"?

gruntora

Knowing Thenardier, it probably wouldn't surprise me.

Lucilius_D'Arque

Consider that, in the novel, she was a nasty, obese cow.

Agustín Magallanes

what I didn't understand in the book, near the end, is that Marius acuses Thenardier from being a murderer, when he didn't actually kill anyone...

ilovemyschnauzer1

Mrs. Thenardier usually is played by a fat woman, which is weird because poor people back then were skinny as they did not have much food to eat.. But screw logic;)

MaffiiOrdaz

I think they backed up too much on the fact that Helena Bonham Carter can display something of an evil aura when she wants it. They were good, but I don't think they fit so much as the characters from the musical and book.

MaffiiOrdaz

I think it might be because of the music. The melody is really merry, but reading the lyrics alone you can see just what kinf of people they are...

Valjean and Javert drinking together in the background

gino7lord

Funny to note that in the book he would be alone cuzz madame dies

phanpiggy

They are such terrible, thieving a**holes, but they're so funny!

Sailor Man

Great number! I do like how, although the rest of the principal cast is applauding at the end of this number, Colm Wilkinson is not. He's probably in "game face" mode -- getting into the mindset of singing the much more somber, and emotional, Epilogue which immediately follows Beggars at the Feast.
