Opis

While not a darling of the critics, Faust Up To Date was a hit with Victorian audiences, Its original London production of 1888 did enormous business with sold out houses, became a hard to get ticket and achieved a lengthy run. A burlesque of the Faust tale, the musical coined the phrase "up to date" meaning modish or stylish and up on the latest fashions and started a whole string of other "up to date" musicals including Sims and Pettitt's Carmen Up To Date. It proved such a hit for the Gaiety Theatre company that it toured the musical throughout the United States, including a Broadway run, and a successful Australian tour. It was revived well into the 21st century. Theatre Arts Press is proud to present the first published libretto of this classic musical theatre piece as part of their Historical Libretto Series
