Aspects of Love can be accurately compared (as I think it often is in this thread) to a soap opera. As the inimitable George Carlin once put it, "everybody's ****ing somebody," and it all turns into a horrific psycho-sexual mess, involving some borderline (in one case directly) incestuous twists and turns.
Now, if somebody wanted this to work better than it did, I think it would need a larger scale revision. More specifically, since one of the most criticized elements is the recitative, one could go back and -- between the recitative and the source novella -- construct an actual book to replace everything that isn't one of the main musical numbers.
However, that wouldn't change the show's main problem: soap operas do plots like this and manage to make them entertaining. Be it novel or musical, Aspects of Love is boring, and replacing the recitative with an actual book won't change that.
