Aspects of Love, the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and Charles Hart that enjoyed a three-year run in London's West End from 1989 to 1992, will receive a long overdue Chicago mounting when Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre opened its production on March 11, 2013. It will be the musical's first staging in the area since a touring company played the old Civic Theatre in spring 1992. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
BWW Reviews: ASPECTS OF LOVE Moving, Problematic and Worthy in Theo Ubique's Gutsy Production
by Paul W. Thompson
- Mar 12, 2013
Playing now through April 21, 2013 at the No Exit Cafe in Rogers Park, and officially opening yesterday, the rarely seen Andrew Lloyd Webber musical 'Aspects of Love' has been very competently mounted by the consistently high-quality storefront non-Equity company, Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre. And this 1989 London show, receiving what I believe is the Chicago premiere of the revised version first mounted in the UK in 1993-4, has been clearly intended by the company to be a follow-up to its phenomenally successful, multi-Jeff Award winning, multi-BroadwayWorld Award winning 2012 production of 'A Light in the Piazza,' a show with a similar post-war, stylish Continental setting and the seduction of romantic melodies in the air--not much dialogue or dance needed.
