Matthew Bourne’s Edward Scissorhands is coming to Liverpool Empire

Matthew Bourne’s magical dance production has carved a place in the hearts of audiences world-wide since its premiere nearly 20 years ago.

This mesmerising production of Edward Scissorhands has touched hearts across the globe since its premiere nearly 20 years ago, and now it’s coming to Liverpool following sell-out performances in America, Australia, Korea, Japan, and Europe.

Bourne and his company, New Adventures, bring to life this incredible story, based on the beloved classic Tim Burton movie. Featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, this production promises to transport audiences into a world of wonder and imagination.

Starring Liam Mower and Stephen Murray as Edward Scissorhands, alongside a talented ensemble cast, including Katrina Lyndon, Ashley Shaw, Kerry Biggin, Sophia Hurdley, and many more, prepare to be spellbound by their exceptional performances.

This timeless story of an incomplete boy navigating a strange new world resonates now more than ever. As Matthew Bourne aptly puts it, “Never has the story of Edward Scissorhands been more timely.”

In an era where uniqueness and identity are both celebrated and reviled, this production explores themes of acceptance and compassion in a way that is as relevant today as it was when Caroline Thompson penned the screenplay 33 years ago.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the magic of Edward Scissorhands brought to life on stage at Liverpool Empire.

The show will play at Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 20 – Saturday 24 February, with tickets available from £13.
