The singing is good, but character-wise, this is just AWFUL. Wells is supposed to be sinister. This is just wrong, and if Gilbert were filling in for Grossmith he'd never play it this warmly.
the part about the "small prophet who brings unbounded returns" made me think of a gag in an old video game: a fortune teller called "prophet for profit"!
70 Simmery Axe!.....It's No.70 Saint Mary Axe, a street address in London (look it upon Google Maps, it's an office building, next to a Starbucks now!)
The terrors of amatuer G&S. This singer is pretty good, but by jingo look at the awful wig, the awful costumes! Why is Alexis dressed for Cosi Fan Tutti?
