I had such a huge crush on the baritone in the first university Gilbert & Sullivan production I worked on, resulting in jackass behaviour at the cast party. Followed later by a huge crush on the tenor in the next season's production, who bore an uncanny resemblance to young-ish Patrick Stewart playing Sejanus in I, Claudius. And then there was the dashing baritone in Utopia Limited who lived in my dorm and--oh, never mind. Never, never mind, and don't believe those rumours I used him as a model for one of the slaughtered Roman soldiers in chapter ii just because the rumours are true. I am susceptible to a good singing voice. And to people who look like movie-Romans.
Hmm... maybe later Domitian can give us a rousing rendition of "I am the very model of an ancient Roman emperor." But what rhymes with "emperor"?
