Get tickets to Scissorhandz: A Musical Reinvented – produced by the iconic Michelle Visage and NSYNC’s Lance Bass!

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.

The show stars Jordan Kai Burnett (Magic Mike Live, Romy & Michele the Musical) as Scissorhands, and 4-time Olivier Award nominee Emma Williams (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mrs Henderson Presents) as Peg.

Scissorhandz: A Musical Reinvented runs from 23 January 2025 until 29 March 2025 at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, London.

Step into the world of Scissorhandz – a radical, raucous, joyful yet touching musical parody tribute to the ultimate outsider – produced by the iconic Michelle Visage and *NSYNC’s Lance Bass!

Leave your inhibitions at the door and get ready to find your new obsession as we celebrate Tim Burton’s beloved hero/weirdo with a phenomenal selection of your favourite 90s and 00s hits – including hits from Taylor Swift, Alanis Morissette, Lady Gaga and many more.

Scissorfans unite, because all WEIRDOS* are WELCOME here!
*For the gals, guys, gays and theys (and everyone in between).
