Michael Ball stars in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s much loved musical

★★★★ “Hits all the right notes” – The Sunday Times

★★★★ “This is a spectacular production” – The Observer

Aspects of Love has returned to London in a major new West End revival starring Michael Ball.

Directed by Jonathan Kent (Sweeney Todd), Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical has been completely re-imagined for the 21st Century in this stunning new production.

The show stars multi award-winner Michael Ball (Sweeney Todd, Hairspray, Les Miserables), Jamie Bogyo (Moulin Rouge! The Musical), internationally renowned soprano Danielle de Niese, Olivier nominated Laura Pitt-Pulford and Anna Unwin in her West End debut.

From the cobbled streets of Paris, through the French countryside to the splendours of Venice, Aspects of Love is a sweeping romantic story of passion, love, betrayal and heartbreak across three generations.

Aspects of Love is now playing at the Lyric Theatre in London until 19 August 2023.

A story of passion, love and loss across three generations of a family and their companions set against the background of 1940’s France and Italy.  Alex Dillingham, a young student travelling through France, falls in love with the alluring actress Rose Vibert.  As the pair embark on a passionate affair, the unexpected arrival of Alex’s uncle George changes their lives forever.  A love story spanning twenty years binding six people and three generations as they come to appreciate that love changes everything.
