The Lyric Theatre opened on 17 Dec. 1888. From the twentieth century, the theatre's typically hosted plays and musicals. Notable shows include *The Royal Family* starring Laurence Olivier, and the original production of Willy Russell’s *Blood Brothers*.

In recent years, the Lyric Theatre has become heavily associated with Michael Jackson — the *Thriller Live* concert ran for 13 years. Michael Jackson then made way for Bob Marley with *Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Story.* Nimax Theatres has owned the Lyric Theatre since 2005.

## Lyric Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has four levels – Stalls, Dress Circle, Upper Circle and Balcony. In the Stalls, the view of the stage is slightly obscured by the overhang of the Dress Circle in Rows Q and R. 

In the Dress Circle, there is a shallow rake.

The Upper Circle offers shallow legroom. The balcony does not hinder the view. 

The Balcony is very high up, but the seats offer a good view of the stage.

See the two-time Olivier Award-winning actor [Michael Ball](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/stars-on-stage/michael-ball) in a reimagined version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber's celebrated musical. *Aspects of Love* tickets are available on London Theatre now. 

Set over 17 years, the *Aspects of Love* musical follows three generations of the Dillingham family in post-war France and Italy. Join young soldier Alex Dillingham as they fall for one another. The pair deal with interfering family members: Alex’s uncle George, and George’s mistress Giulietta. When their lives become even more complicated when Rose’s daughter, Jenny, grows up, nothing can ever be the same. 

Michael Ball played Alex in the original *Aspects of Love* London production. 34 years on, Ball heads back to the romantic musical, now as Alex’s uncle George. The show made a chart-topping star out of Ball — his "Love Changes Everything" single stayed on the UK chart for 15 weeks, peaking at No. 2. He’ll lead the highly-anticipated revival, now boasting a glorious score in a reimagined chamber production. 

### Who wrote *Aspects of Love*?

*Aspects of Love* takes inspiration from David Garnett’s 1955 novel of the same name. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the original music, teaming up with lyricists Don Black and Charles Hart. [Learn more about Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/a-complete-guide-to-andrew-lloyd-webber-musicals). Trevor Nunn and Gillian Lynne directed and choreographed the *Aspects of Love* world premiere. 

### Who is Michael Ball?

Michael Ball is an Olivier Award-winning actor, singer, and radio host. He’s best known for playing Edna Turnblad in *Hairspray*, the title barber in *Sweeney Todd: The Barber of Fleet Street*. Ball also originated the role of Marius Pontmercy in *Les Miserables*, and was one of the first actors to play Raoul in *The Phantom of the Opera*. Michael Ball regularly performs alongside Alfie Boe — the pair have five albums together.

Tickets to *Aspects of Love* are available now. Book your *Aspects of Love* tickets on London Theatre today.

Michael Ball will star in a revival of *Aspects of Love,* newly reimagined for the 21st century. Follow the relationships and romantic entanglements between four people over 17 years — will love change everything? Learn more about *Aspects of Love* tickets on London Theatre today. 

Michael Ball’s no stranger to returning to his past shows. He reprised the role of Edna Turnblad in *Hairspray* at the London Colisuem in 2021, and played Javert in all-star *Les Miserables* concerts. Now, he’s taking on the paternal role of George in *Aspects of Love*, with *Moulin Rouge! The Musical* star Jamie Bogyo as Alex.

“*Aspects of Love* holds a very special place in my heart," said Ball. "I am absolutely delighted to revisit Andrew Lloyd Webber’s glorious score in a re-imagined chamber production in the West End."  

## What to Watch For: 

- David Garnett's 1955 novel of the same name inspires the musical. 
- The *Aspects of Love* adaptation was originally planned to be a film version. After the film project fell through, Lloyd Webber decided there should be a musical adaptation instead.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber and his longtime writing partner Tim Rice composed a cabaret of songs six years prior to the show’s West End premiere.

After studying at Guildford School of Acting, he caught his first break starring in *The Pirates of Penzance* at Manchester Opera House. Starring in *The Pirates of Penzance* got him cast in the London production of [*Les Miserables*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/300-les-miserables) at the [Palace Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/palace-theatre) as Marius.

Following this, he starred in *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* alongside [Imelda Staunton](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/imelda-staunton) at the [Adelphi Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/adelphi-theatre). Ball was also part of the cast for the *25th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables* at The O2 Arena along with [Matt Lucas](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/matt-lucas), Alfie Boe and [Samantha Barks](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/samantha-barks). The concert was telecast live to cinemas globally and later released on DVD.

Outside the theatre, Ball has released several solo albums from 1992 - 2014.

He also appeared as a Judge in the talent television show *Soapstar Superstar* for series two in 2007. 

Recently, Ball has starred in *Chess* at the London Coliseum, and played Javert in [*Les Misérables - The All-Star Staged Concert*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/23144-les-miserables-in-concert) at the Gielgud Theatre. In 2021, he reprised his performance as Edna Turnblad in [*Hairspray*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/16216-hairspray) at the London Coliseum.

Ball will return to the West End in 2023 to star in *Aspects of Love* at the Lyric Theatre.
