SARAH BRIGHTMAN Aspects of Love 

I know the public pretty much rejected this show, but I find it to be one of his better scores. This is great footage of her in the show and I always found it rather ironic that her staring in a show called Aspects of Love was the final nail in the coffin of their marriage. Thank you for posting Spiderwoman!

I absolutely love this show. I never understood why the public wasn’t as enthusiastic.

Love seeing Aspects of Love in person. And Sarah was amazing after the show.

what a rare clip !!!!! oh ~~~God ! !! wish someday there will release Sarah's version of whole Aspects of Love album

I find it so sad that the full video of this isn't available publicly for everyone to see...

What an excellent portrayal of Rose’s desperation and grief and denial and fear. Wish I could see more of her turn in the show.

Her acting and her singing are excellent here.

Sarah's music has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. (I'm the type of 'obsessive' fan who's seen and heard everything of hers, official or unofficial, if it's managed to find its way out there). I usually tell you, "Thank you, as always, for sharing," but I really mean it... THANK YOU for sharing this particular bit of your collection. I've always wanted to see this particular scene in such stunning quality. This is miles above the circulating distant balcony footage of her. "You have truly made my night." ;-)

She really hit her stride in this role. Thanks again for posting another rare gem. 👌

Aspects of Love is a beautiful show, it is a mature show about relationships. By the time this ALW show opened it had to compete with the visual thrill rides that some audiences expected to see after Phantom, Starlight, and Cats. I think that it was too sophisticated for those who wanted to see another spectacle, and yet not sophisticated enough as a Sondheim show to appeal to others. Anything But Lonely is a spectacular song and Brightman delivers it effortlessly while showing her acting abilities, she doesn’t just belt out the song as she does brilliantly in studio recordings, but gives it a quiet vulnerability. Thank you so much for sharing this with us : )

What I wouldn't give to see a whole recording of the original staging - whoever the cast. ALW's beautifully evocative score, and Bjornson's beautifully fragmented set... It was really interesting to see Brightman in this clip. I only got to see her live once, in concert in 1997. By that time her voice had changed dramatically, but she had a stunning stage presence.

What a great performance! I didn't realize she was such a great actress. She definitely would have blown out her voice had she belted as she did in the studio recording of this song. I just wish I could see the ending and hear Marcus's last note.

I love this show.

I think this is ALW’s most under appreciated score. I also think it’s the kind of show that really resonates more with people who have had experienced great love affairs and/or spent a lot of time in Europe. It’s difficult to understand these people unless you’ve lived similar lives.

Hey Aurora! Thank you for posting this. For much of Broadway's run, successful (and some less so) productions got the film adaptation and everyone could see them. Not so much anymore, and Aspects was one of the first BIG productions to disappear completely. This is the first bit of it I've ever seen. Thank you. Sarah Brightman can sing.

This an absolutely beautiful musical in every way!! I wish it would be made into a movie!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Aspects of Love was the first Broadway musical I ever saw and remains one of my favorites. The score is one of the most exquisite that ALW wrote where even the recitative and dialogue sequences standing out ("A memory of a happy moment" kind of floating in and out for example) While the story is insane, it's certainly memorable and keeps you on your toes with all it's twists and turns. I have hoped for a revival with the full orchestrations for some time, another real recording of this score and some bootlegs to pop up. Amazing how little of this show is out there. While Broadway was a financial loss, the US Tour (based on the sold-out Canadian production) was received better and it ran on the West End for over 3 years. BTW - Ann Crumb > Sarah Brightman. That woman. her belt was seemingly effortless. 30 years later I still remember her nailing that last note in this song and literally having the audience on the edge of their sears.

OMG I HQD NO IDEA THIS FOOTAGE EXISTED

Met her opening night of this show, saw her in it when it closed. Brava Sarah!!!

Stunning whatever any one says it iives even now

Thank you so much for posting this! I had the original cast recording..... on 2 cassette tapes (haha), that I nearly wore out.

I love her "Mystic pizza" 80's Hair. I WORE IT TOO ! love her, saw her in Phantom.

Remember that she had just finished doing the Phantom of the Opera... when her presentation in Aspect of Love was announced, the tickets sold out quickly.

wow... I never thought this version exists... thanks

Thank you sharing this footage. So few video clips can be found of the original London or Broadway productions. Never saw either version but from photos the extravagant production design looks amazing which is in contrast to the scaled down productions that followed.

I enjoyed both Ann Crumb and Sarah in the musical.

Sarah was so beautiful and her voice like a angel.

I'd like to watch the entire recording so much! What's the date of the performance?

😍😍❤❤

I don't understand why anyone has ever said Sarah Brightman can't act. She's lovely in this.

I got teary eyes when Rose begging 'don't leave me' in this scene

Sarah Brightman and Marcus Lovett as Alex the role created by Micheal Ball.

Да, мюзикл она тянет по всем показателям. Как рыбка в океане.

Saw it twice. Loved it. So sad I never got to play Rose...

She did a video of the song on a video of all the songs from ALW.

Sounds quite different live when compared to the studio version. I think she released this in the UK as a single (either just before or just after Aspects of Love opened in London). In the studio version, the vocals were more ‘belted’ and were certainly a lot more powerful than shown here.

Hi! I'm wanting a boot from you, how can I contact you?

Interesting that from this run in 1991 until the currently-running Sunset Blvd. in Australia, 2024, she did no musical theatre. Most of her Blvd. reviews say that at best her acting is ethereal, lousy and uninvolved at worst. Her singing is wobbly and all head voice. Here, she uses quite a lot of chest voice (though smartly, not as much as her studio recording), and great mixing of chest & head. Her vibrato is quick & healthy. I think her acting here is subtle and very effective. Obviously, time takes its toll and all voices age, regardless of bad or technique. But I often wish she would've stuck with this lightly belting early style she did in her early years, vs the hooty, over-covered, popera sound she adopted in the late '90s / early 2000s.

She sure seems happy for someone singing at her husbands wake.

Sarah acting by numbers in this , just my opinion xx

Why is she so happy in this scene? She just lost her husband

I always thought she was too young to play Rose.

that's a terrible wig. and she's such a beautiful woman.

I hate to saw this Ann crumb wins hands down. Sarah is going through her crazy uncontrollable vibrato stage here post phantom… also u can see she is late and lagging with the orchestra at the beginning of the song…
