Middle age is a sitcom joke no one wants to be the butt of, and the generation now turning 40 is the one that never trusted anyone over 30. Its members, who are among the most fanatical cyclists, joggers, iron-pumpers, lap-swimmers, rope-jumpers and cross-country skiers, were especially hard hit by the society's youth imperative.

In many ways, this role is the juiciest in the operetta; as a fleshly man who merely feigns ethereality, Reginald is the butt of most of Gilbert's jokes, and as the frustrated lover of the simple maiden Patience, he gets to sing many of his funniest lyrics.
