As the basis for his next musical he chose David Garnett's short novel of the same title.The plot involves various love triangles and is as close to a soap opera as you can get in a musical.

| Author: Mary Mercedes (PA) - Se.. | I will never understand why this show was never the hit it so deserved to be. It was richly complex, deeply profound, and touched me to the core, staying with me, still, through the years. Perhaps it was too daring for the narrow, provincial American mind.Much has been said here, but to truly appreciate the music, I think you had to have seen the original show live.I was fortunate enough to see the original cast at the Kennedy Center in D.C. 1993 (or so) and will NEVER forget it. It is WAY up there at the top of my favorites of all Broadway shows, and I have seen almost ALL of Andrew Lloyd Webber's shows at least once-- in both D.C. and NYC-- since the beginning.If ASPECTS OF LOVE ever comes around again, don't miss it! | 7 | |
