Oh noes, the video's gone!

This isn't technically Broadway news, but the first London revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love (my favourite score of his after Evita) opens next month at the Menier Chocolate Factory with the adorable Michael Arden as Alex.

Not sure how I feel about Trevor Nunn directing it again, but I'm glad it's a more intimate staging than the original. Since a lot of Menier productions have eventually made it to Broadway (e.g., the recent Sunday in the Park With George, and the current A Little Night Music), chances are that Aspects will follow them if it's a big enough hit. And if a New York production happens, then I vote for Arden to reprise his role, with Laura Benanti taking over as Rose, Sierra Boggess as Giulietta, and Terrence Mann as George.

Here's the original Broadway cast at the 1990 Tony Awards:
