Saw back to the future!! It was literally so great and visually stunning, I’ve had it described to me as “Camp but really good” and that’s exactly how it was, had a lot of fun and honestly I would’ve just gone for the special effects

Review: Back To The Future The Musical

Great Scott! On Roger Bart's final night, It's only the Screen One review Back To The Future The Musical #BTTFMusical #BackToTheFuture @BTTFmusical @rogerbartoffic @WillHaswell @Amber_Davies7 @camjmcall6

Back To The Future The Musical Trailer “Lorraine. My Density Has Brought Me To You.” Or at least to the Adelphi Theatre, London for a night of wonderment of sheer spectacle, laughs and good music at the Back To The Future Musical. The latest in a now enlarging line of movies that have been adapted to the stage, which seems to have bucked the previous trend of the 90’s to do it the other way…

"We found Hildesheim in his office, a Hebrew of rather the Adelphi Theatre type, with a nose like a sheep, and a fez."

This is one the many, many examples of how stuff like discrimination, or in this case antisemitism is presented as this total normal thing to do to a person in classical literature.

I don't know about this, both Jonathan and Bram Stoker, but comparing a proud jewish man who wears traditional clothing at work with a stereotype in theater made to be make fun at, and specifically calling how big his nose is not excusable just because this book is old. On top of (just like Jonathan did in Varna) mentioning that they bribed him.

Today's DraculaDaily contains a nasty little nugget of antisemitism, in the form of one of the NPCs the Crew of Light bribes being specifically called out as Jewish and greedy.

...not to excuse Stoker's clear antisemitism, but some people might be wondering what the "Adelphi theatre type" he mentions is. Good news: It's probably less bad than you're thinking.

A brief google took me to Victorianweb.org, which is a pretty reliable source for information on the period. It's got a writeup of a lot of the minor theatres in London at the time, and it states:

"[The Adelphi] had more "tone" than the other minor theatres because its patrons in the main were the salaried clerks of barristers and solicitors."

It goes on to explain that the Adelphi specifically hosted a lot of plays by Dickens (and a lot of Dickens bootlegs) and a lot of burlettas (what we'd call comedy musicals today).

Stoker's saying "this guy is a little bit lower class than our heroes- probably in about the class position that Jonathan started out at, honestly- is an extremely bank-clerky bank clerk, and likes a good middlebrow comedy."

So yeah, calling this NPC "the Adelphi theatre type" is a bit like saying "you can tell just by looking at this guy that he trades crypto and has seen every fucking Marvel movie". (Not that much, but a bit.) Knowing that Stoker worked in theatre, it's a weird little bit of humanization in the middle of a super dehumanizing period-typical stereotype.

[ETA: @luanna801 pointed out in the notes that this could also mean "the type of antisemitic stock character one would see on stage at the Adelphi", like calling someone a Tyler Perry character. I don't know which interpretation is more likely to be accurate, but it's worth noting here.]
