Tangent, but am I the only person who has a hard time keeping all the characters, and their names, straight? I'm good with Valjean, Javert and the Thernardiers, but after that they and their names all kind of run together for me.
It's been such a long time since I didn't have the entire score pretty much memorized, but I xan remember it being confusing. And I can't name any of the revoltionaries except Enjolais and Gavroche.

I think having Eponine at the end says to the viewer that she made it to heaven. I mean, i guess all the dead people did (except Javert), since they show up in the finale, but I guess they wanted to highlight Eponine.
