In the first verse of Master of the House from Les Miserables, Thenardier says "everybody loves a landlord." This is a subtle reference to the fact that Thenardier is a pathological liar.

I don't think people understand how intrinsically Jewish the Les Misérables musical is. The writers of the original French musical were Claude-Michel Schönberg (Hungarian Jew), Alain Boublil (Sephardic Jew), and directed by Robert Hossein (Moldovian Jew). Schöneberg also composed the music. It was adapted into English by Herbert Kretzmer (Lithuanian Jew).
The lyrics include many references to Jewish beliefs and values. Schöneberg said in an interview, "When I’m writing a show there is always a part that is typically Jewish."
However, the one that sticks out to me especially is a line from the Epilogue:
"They will live again in freedom,
In the garden of the Lord;
They will walk behind the ploughshare,
They will put away the sword."
The origin of the phrase - specifically, the bit about 'ploughshares' and 'swords' - can be traced back to a nevuah (prophecy) by Yeshayahu (Isaiah), a Jewish navi (prophet) from the sefer Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah). (Sorry, yes, I insist on the Hebrew words first.)
"The Torah will go forth from Tzion (Zion) and the word of Hashem from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)... They will then cut their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning knives. No nation will lift a sword against the other, and they will no longer learn warfare."
This is a quote about the 'end of days', and the idea of a peaceful paradise free from war was emulated in the song to convey a similar paradise for our barricade boys, the casualties of the June Rebellion. This is only one of the many examples of Jewish themes and references in the Les Misérables musical!

Harry Chandler, Bart Lambert, Stewart Clarke, Josh Piterman (ft. barricade boys) in “Les Misérables”
@westandonshakyground (hadesishere) master.
Barricade boys things.
Originally was going to be an Enjolras gif set, then I wanted to include some Enjoltaire, and then I couldn't leave out a bit of Stewart, and it somehow made this mess. Not complaining though.

The “They will come when we call!” Line in the Les Mis musical breaks my heart. Enjolras is so certain that everyone has the same devotion to the people, enough to march to certain death for a glimmer of hope for their country, his Patria. I do suppose that Enjolras is mentioned to be a rare kind of man, and not everyone can “soar in the upper airs of faith” as he does.
