Edward Scissorhands: Matthew Bourne's dance version of Tim Burton's classic

Matthew Bourne’s magical dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 2005. Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world. Filmed live for the first time in March 2024 at the Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff, this “visually arresting and ceaselessly inventive” (★★★★★ Metro) production is “the perfect treat for all the family” (★★★★★ The Times).
