The Aspects of Love musical takes inspiration from David Garnett’s 1955 novel of the same name. This scintillating tale follows three generations of the Dillingham family over 17 years.

Hopping through time, the show follows the tangled web of love shared by four major characters – budding actress Rose, her young fan-turned-soldier Alex, his uncle George, and George’s mistress Giulietta Trapani. Throughout the story, the four lovers exchange partners and romantic interests, deepening the complexity of love and its varying meaning for each relationship.

Michael Ball’s no stranger to returning to musicals. He reprised the role of Edna Turnblad in Hairspray in 2021, and went back to Les Miserables as Javert. Now, he’s taking on the paternal role of George in Aspects of Love, 34 years after he starred in the original London production.

“Aspects of Love holds a very special place in my heart," said Ball. "I am absolutely delighted to revisit Andrew Lloyd Webber’s glorious score in a re-imagined chamber production in the West End."

What to Watch For:

• The Aspects of Love adaptation was originally planned to be a film version. After the film project fell through, Lloyd Webber decided there should be a musical adaptation instead.
• Michael Ball originated the role of Alex in Aspects of Love. When he released “Love Changes Everything” as a single, the song reached number two in the UK music charts.
• Andrew Lloyd Webber and his longtime writing partner Tim Rice composed a cabaret of songs six years prior to the show’s West End premiere.
