Take two young people, add a backdrop of France, and throw in love for good measure, and you may have the perfect cocktail for a standard romantic musical.

Aspects of Love, which opens Walnut Street Theatre’s 203rd season, begins with just such an unassuming premise.

But Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspects of Love, which originally opened in 1989, coquettishly lures modern audiences into strange and unheard-of geometries of lust. Try not to get dizzy as the love triangle between aspiring actress Rose Vibert, young soldier Alex Dillingham and his uncle George rapidly expands into a love hexagon.

Through the skillful direction of Bruce Lumpkin, the Walnut Street Theatre production of Aspects of Love gives poignancy back to the well-worn adage of “wine, women, and song.” The only con to seeing this musical? Like any good magic spell, you just might find yourself falling for the first person you see once you leave the theater.
