Aspects of Love

In 1989 Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the beautiful music to a soap opera of a musical, Aspects of Love. The two disc cd set of the London production includes dialogue mixed into the singing, helping the listener to figure out the plot.    

Michael Ball was the star of the show, playing the part of Alex Dillingham, a young man of seventeen who falls in love with an older actress.  The show follows him into his thirties and the audience witnesses the many aspects of love.

Here are performances  for two different award shows.  The top was for the British Royal Variety Performance in 1989, the bottom was for the American Tony Awards in 1990.

You can easily see why Michael Ball was the star, smooth and handsome with a powerful voice.
