Nero; the singer who brought the house down -literally...

"While he (Nero) was singing no one was allowed to leave the theater even for the most urgent reasons. And so it is said that some women gave birth to children there, while many who were worn out with listening and applauding, secretly leaped from the side of the theater, since the gates at the entrance were closed, or feigned death and were carried out as if for burial."

- Seutonius, The Lives of the Twelve Caesars
