STAGE

‘Aspects of Love’ Star OK: The stage world was abuzz with rumors this week that Michael Ball, British heartthrob and star of “Aspects of Love,” which is set to open on Broadway next week, had hepatitis and would not be able to appear. True, Ball is recovering from hepatitis, but it will not affect his appearance on the New York stage. “He’s fine. He’s on stage now rehearsing and singing 12 hours a day,” said the show’s publicity director, Merle Frimark. The show goes into previews March 19.
