In 1989, a young Michael Ball landed the lead role in the musical Aspects of Love. It was a moment that changed his life forever. It was the first time he worked with legends of the stage like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn; the show featured his smash hit song,Love Changes Everything, which rode high in the charts for 15 weeks; it was then, also, that he first met his long-term partner Cathy McGowan and battled back against the stage fright that had threatened his career. Over three decades later, Michael returned to a new production of the same show where he made his name, and with a lifetime’s worth of stories to tell.
InDifferent Aspects, Michael takes us backstage inside the making of a West End hit, while also diving back into his memories to share untold anecdotes and explore a glittering career that has made him a household name – from his first stage experiences in Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera, to delighting and shocking his audiences in equal measure in Hairspray and Sweeney Todd, as well as his chart-topping musical success (and some howlers too!). Exploring Michael’s life, career and relationships alongside the pitfalls and pratfalls of modern theatre, Different Aspects is the story of a life lived on the stage. There will be laughter, tears and an abundance of heart. There’s even some Roger Moore, though, famously, not quite enough.
Take your seats ladies and gentlemen, the lights are dimming, the performance is about to start.

Absolutely loved this book. So much insight into the ups and downs of getting a musical theatre production to the stage. Filled with wonderful little stories and written as if Michael was just sitting in front of me relaying them.
Going to have another read now

Loved this late to find Michael Ball enjoyed his story made me smile I saw him in aspects of love enjoyed threat Michael tells it so easy to read would give it more stars if it was possible
by Bookworm
So disappointed in this eagerly awaited book. Everything revovrd around Aspects of Love. No real insight into Michael at all. It certainly waffled in a lot of the chapters. Not worth the money at all. Would not recommend this book if you are looking for an autobiography of Michael. Alfie Boe has a book out that is so much better to read.
