EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional music sheet showcases the Faust Up To Date Lancers, an ensemble of dancers and musicians arranged and composed by Meyer Lutz for the burlesque production of Faust Up To Date. The show, written by George R. Sims and Henry Pettit, premiered at the Gaiety Theatre in October 1888, marking the height of the Victorian era's fascination with the Faust legend. The image on the sheet features Mephistopheles, the devilish character from the Faust story, accompanied by a burlesque figure of Kaiser Wilhelm I. Kaiser Wilhelm had recently ascended to the German throne in 1888, adding an intriguing layer of relevance to the production. The addition of the Kaiser's figure in the illustration was likely an attempt to capitalize on contemporary events and attract audiences. Meyer Lutz, a skilled composer and arranger, penned the music for this lively ensemble, drawing from his original tunes created specifically for Faust Up To Date. The sheet music serves as a testament to the marketing and advertising strategies employed during the late 1800s, where theatres and performers utilized eye-catching visuals and catchy tunes to entice patrons and generate excitement for their shows. The Faust Up To Date Lancers represented a unique blend of entertainment, leisure, and enjoyment, offering Victorians an opportunity to immerse themselves in a captivating and irreverent production that combined music, dance, and the allure of the Faust legend. This music sheet stands as a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the creative ways in which it captured the public's imagination.
