Edward Scissorhands the stage spectacular hits Melbourne

July 24th 2008 18:08
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

A gothic fairytale.
A moving love story.
The magical stage adaptation of the classic motion picture.

This enchanting, uplifting, record-breaking stage adaptation of the classic motion picture swept UK and US audiences off their feet, turning a film favourite into a theatrical triumph.

Following in the footsteps of his smash hit Swan Lake, Matthew Bourne uses music, movement and stage magic to tell the story of a boy left alone and unfinished by the eccentric inventor who created him.

Transforming tired gardens into triumphs of topiary, treating desperate housewives to haircuts with a difference, and shaping spectacular ice sculptures out of snowstorms, Edward quickly becomes the local hero. But not everyone can see past the scars and scissors to the beauty and innocence within . . .

A magical fairytale. A moving love story. A major stage spectacular, Edward Scissorhands comes to life!

"Truly magical. A show for lovers of dance, musicals, film and everything in between." The Scotsman

"The Matthew Bourne / Tim Burton chemistry is fizzing." The Guardian UK
