Producers Bradley Bredeweg, Kelley Parker & Brian Pendleton, with co-producers Lance
Bass and Michelle Visage, are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated European premiere
of Bredeweg’s critically acclaimed musical SCISSORHANDZ: A Musical Reinvented which
will open at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 23 January 2025 for an exclusive 10-week
engagement closing on 29 March.
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! 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.
Michelle Visage said ““I am beyond excited to join the producing team for SCISSORHANDZ!
The energy, the message, the joy—it’s everything we need right now. In a world that feels a
little upside down, this show is a celebration of life, individuality, and fierce self-expression.
It’s a reminder to live out loud and take up space. And let me tell you, we’re not just creating
a show, we’re creating a movement. You know I’ll be throwing some fabulous parties during
the run—I mean, what’s a Michelle Visage production without a little sparkle and sass? Get
ready, because it’s going to be an unforgettable ride!”
