About a Boy Don't Miss Edward Scissorhands at the Fox  If you are expecting to see Edward Scissorhands the movie onstage at the upcoming Fox production, you would be wrong. Instead of copying Burton's wonderful 1990 film, Director Matthew Bourne has created a completely different experience with his new production Edward Scissorhands. Embracing theatre's natural constraints, Bourne uses mood, pace, humor and dance to convey Scissorhands' story and characters. The M.A.C. is heading to the Fox Theatre to watch this touching, witty gothic fairytale on Thursday, March 8. However, there are only a few tickets left! Click here for more information |
