Based on David Garnett’s novel of the same name, Aspects of Love follows the entangling romances of actress Rose Vibert, her devoted fan Alex Dillingham and Alex’s extended family. The show features music and a book by Andrew Lloyd Weber and lyrics by Don Black and Charles Hart, and includes the popular song “Love Changes Everything.” Aspects of Love opened in the West End on April 17, 1989 and transferred to Broadway on April 9, 1990 where it ran for 377 performances.
