Love Story opened at the Duchess Theatre on 6 Dec 2010, following previews from 27 Nov, to moderate notices: "A polished show" (Evening Standard); "The characters remain only mildly engaging" (The Stage); "This version of 'Love Story' is certainly better than the film" (Londontheatre.co.uk) Inspired by Erich Segal's novel, it has music by Howard Goodall, book by Stephen Clark and lyrics by Stephen Clark and Howard Goodall.

Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, the cast includes Emma Williams as Jenny, and Michael Xavier as Oliver Barratt IV

Produced in the West End by Michael Ball, Adam Spiegel and Stephen Waley-Cohen.

Oliver Barrett IV went to Harvard and Jenny Cavilleri to Radcliffe. He was rich, she was poor. He was sporty, she played music. But they fell in love. This is their story.
