Miserable Marius?

I watched parts of 2 cinemas yesterdays night: First one being the famous 'Da Vinci Code' and second one the vampire chronicles 'Queen of the Damned'.

Something caught my attention while watching the first: during a chase scene the car moves off and the scene pauses at a poster of the play 'Les Miserables' on a bricked wall. The second movie made me focus on 2 things:  'Marius' the original vampire and a short violin jugalbandhi...the music was awesome, it sounded Carnatic. I told myself that I will have to check up on the net tomorrow on all these focus points.

My convenient amnesia refreshed my RAM on these matters but I did go to Wikipedia habitually today morning. And coincidently I found 'Les Miserable' on the home page as a featured link! It seems today was the day in 1985 that the play opened in London. I went through the link to find that there is a character in this play called Marius.
