| Aspects of Love (Theatre) | comment |
One of Andrew Lloyd Webber's lesser known musicals. Based on a novella of the same title by David Garnett, it concerns Alex Dillingham, a young British soldier travelling through France. He meets Rose Vibert, a flighty, nymphomaniacal French actress. There's also Alex's uncle George and his lover, Giulietta Trapani, an Italian (presumably Venetian) sculptress. The show details the romantic entanglements and relationships between these people over a period of several years, later including Jenny, George and Rose's daughter.It has received very mixed reactions since its inception (Frank Rich of the New York Times wrote: "What neither Mr. Lloyd Webber nor his collaborators can provide is a semblance of the humanity that is also, to some, an aspect of love.") It's certainly not what the public was used to compared to Lloyd Webber's other big musicals at the time, such as Cats, Starlight Express and The Phantom of the Opera. It tries to rely more on the substance of the characters and is more reserved, and possibly more sophisticated, than his bigger hits of The '80s. | |

Age Lift | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Jenny is thirteen at the climax of the novella; the same events take place on her fifteenth birthday in the musical (presumably to reduce the Squick factor of her crush on Alex). The 2023 revival again moves her age up, now to eighteen. | |

Like Father, Like Son | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_2260cfe3 | comment |
Like Father, Like Son: Alex and George are both interested in Rose. Gender-flipped example: in separate acts, Rose and Jenny both make a dramatic entrance wearing a dress that belonged to George's dead first wife. The first time, he almost has a heart attack. The second, he does some play-flirting with his daughter. | |

May–December Romance | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_234fa9ba | comment |
May–December Romance: Basically every couple (with the possible exception of Alex and Guilietta) involves this. In ascending order of age gap: Guilietta is likely a few years older than Alex, having a career and having been widowed for at least a short time. If we do assume them to be about the same age, though, then she's in the same boat as him in reference to Rose. Alex is 17 when he first sleeps with Rose, 25. Then there's Jenny, who makes a play for 34-year-old Alex on her 15th birthday. Finally we have George, who is arguably the patron saint of this trope. At the start of the musical, he's 58 and is sleeping with Guillieta, who's in early adulthood. Two years later he marries Rose, then 28. If you run the math, it takes close to a decade of marriage before she stops being less than half his age. Lampshaded by Guillieta, who, upon meeting Alex for the first time, asks "Do you ever dance with women your own age?" | |

Noodle Incident: The cause of Alex's expulsion from school. Apparently it's mortifying to Alex and hilarious to George and Rose. The book also invokes this, concealing the story from the reader but portraying Rose's reaction to it. | |

Parental Substitute | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_3f11ef74 | comment |
Parental Substitute: George to Alex at the very start, even though the rest of the musical proves his advice to be wrong. Your mileage may vary on this. George advises Alex not to allow love to overcome his common sense. If Alex had listened to him he would not have shot Rose and had to spend years away from his only family, and if he'd not done that he would have probably seen Jenny grow up and not have been attracted to her. | |

JailBaitWait | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_5a021b5e | comment |
Jail Bait Wait: Played straight despite Values Dissonance. Jenny actually has to get through two of them. The first ends on her 15th birthday, which is the age of consent in France; at that point she can seduce Alex if she wants (and if he wants, which he doesn't). The second will end three years after the story does, when she reaches her legal majority at 18 and can marry whoever she wants. By making both thresholds her goal, the show manages to conform to Hollywood Provincialism. | |

Foreshadowing: When George shares the news of Alex romancing Rose in his villa, Giulietta states: And one scene later, while admiring the view together, Alex remarks that his uncle insists on magnificent views. After two years of service, Alex returns to George's villa to find that George and Rose have struck up a romance in the interim. Rose defends her decision, claiming, "I've been faithful / and I'm happy, / More faithful than he'll ever be. / It's not as if he's marrying me!" By the end of Act 1, he has. And by the first five or ten minutes of Act 2, we find out that George has given up his playboy ways, while Rose is in an on-again off-again fling with Giulietta and has a lover on the side (with George's knowledge and consent). | |

Precision F-Strike: The fairly-innocuous "damn" and "hell" are scattered throughout the libretto, but "You scheming bitch!" makes a particular impact. | |

Show Within a Show: Rose is an actress. After the prologue, the musical begins with her starring in the final scene of Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder, and Act II begins with her in Ivan Turganev's A Month in the Country. The family also attends a circus in act II. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: In the novella, Alexis Golightly is consistently identified by his full first name, while the musical always calls him Alex, omitting any suggestion that it is "short" for anything, and changes his last name to Dillingham, matching George's. Also, the character of Vincent is renamed Hugo in the musical. Finally, the name of George's first wife in the musical was changed from Delia to Celia when the libretto and score were revised in 2013. | |

Has a Type | |
| Aspects of Love (Theatre) / int_e24e15a6 | comment |
Has a Type: George's first wife Delia was an actress, like Rose, and the two purportedly look very similar. The musical's implications can vary depending on the casting of Hugo, but the novella's Alexis notes with jealousy that twenty-year-old Vincent seems to be an Expy of himself at seventeen; Rose admits that a pattern has formed. (See also Replacement Goldfish under YMMV.) Until the end, Alex seems allergic to women close to him in age, a trait lampshaded by Giulietta. | |

Gender-flipped example: in separate acts, Rose and Jenny both make a dramatic entrance wearing a dress that belonged to George's dead first wife. The first time, he almost has a heart attack. The second, he does some play-flirting with his daughter. | |

The Mourning After: George has shied away from long-term entanglements ever since his first wife, Delia, died quite young. Guillieta also lost a husband after a mere five days of wedded bliss. | |
