If Aspects of Love is a blast from the past for some of us, it must surely be a nostalgia fest for Michael Ball, who played the musical’s young lover Alex when it premiered in 1989, and found himself propelled into the pop charts with its signature ballad, Love Changes Everything.
It was Ball’s suggestion that this story of Parisian love triangles and romantic family entanglements be revived, with the star now playing Alex’s uncle, George.
