After a wildly successful, sold-out run in Hollywood, where it captivated audiences and earned rave reviews, SCISSORHANDZ is set to take London by storm.
SCISSORHANDZ opened at Southwark Playhouse, Elephant on 23 January 2025 for an exclusive 10-week engagement closing on 29 March.
Produced by Bradley Bredeweg, Kelley Parker & Brian Pendleton, along with co-producers Lance Bass and Michelle Visage, SCISSORHANDZ, is a fresh and funny reinvention of Tim Burton’s cult classic Edward Scissorhands. This pop-musical parody extravaganza is a celebration of those who dare to be different, packed with a killer soundtrack featuring the likes of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga & Alanis Morissette, plus more iconic hits you know and love. This is more than just a musical; it’s a movement!
Jordan Kai Burnett (Magic Mike Live Las Vegas, Romy & Michele the Musical, Seattle) stars as Scissorhands, a role they originated in the original Los Angeles production, and 4-time Olivier Award nominee, Emma Williams (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mrs Henderson Presents, Half A Sixpence, Love Story all West End) stars as Peg.
Jordan & Emma are joined by Dionne Gipson (original Scissorhandz cast member, Los Angeles Pee Wee’s Big Holiday for Netflix) as The Inventor, Lauren Jones (Ragtime, London) as Kim, Annabelle Terry (Who do ya Love?, London West End, Tales from Hans Cristian Anderson, Guilford) as Esmeralda, Ryan O’Connor (original Scissorhandz cast member, Los Angeles) as Helen, Richard Carson (The Hired Man, MAMMA MIA!, Oklahoma!, all West End) as Jim.
