Further casting has been announced for the anticipated new West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated musical, ASPECTS OF LOVE, which will play a strictly limited season at the Lyric Theatre from Friday 12 May to Saturday 11 November 2023.
Joining the previously announced Michael Ball – who returns to the musical 34 years after having starred as Alex in the original West End production – as George, and Jamie Bogyo as Alex, are Olivier Award-nominee Laura Pitt-Pulford as Rose, Anna Unwin as Jenny and the internationally renowned soprano, Danielle de Niese as Giulietta.
In ravaged post war France, beautiful actress Rose Vibert finds herself homeless and penniless after her hoped-for career break play closes early. Invited to a country villa by a love struck young American, Alex Dillingham, she impulsively accepts. When unexpectedly interrupted by Alex’s distinguished uncle George, everything changes.
So begins a tumultuous 20-year love story, entwining the three of them and George’s mistress, the feisty artist Giulietta. Everything changes once again when Rose’s daughter Jenny turns 18.
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.
With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Don Black and Charles Hart, based on the novel by David Garnett, ASPECTS OF LOVE is directed by Jonathan Kent.
ASPECTS OF LOVE at The Lyric Theatre is produced by Nica Burns, by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Limited.
Further casting is yet to be announced.
