The lead cast has been announced for Scissorhandz at the Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
A fresh and funny reinvention of Tim Burton's cult classic Edward Scissorhands, this pop-musical parody extravaganza will kick off the new year in style. Packed with a killer soundtrack of music featuring the likes of Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, Scissorhandz heads to London after a hugely successful and sold-out run in Hollywood.
Jordan Kai Burnett (Magic Mike Live, Las Vegas) will star as Scissorhands, a role she originated in the original production in Los Angeles, alongside Emma Williams (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, West End) who will star as Peg.
They will be joined by Dionne Gipson (original Scissorhandz cast member, Los Angeles) as The Inventor, Lauren Jones (Ragtime, London) as Kim, Annabelle Terry (Who do ya Love?, London West End) as Esmeralda, Ryan O'Connor (original Scissorhandz cast member, Los Angeles) as Helen, Richard Carson (MAMMA MIA!, West End) as Jim. The Ensemble will be played by Candida Mosoma (Lion King, UK & Ireland Tour, International Tour & South Africa), Luke Cairns (Little Women, London), and Grace Towning (Mean Girls, West End).
The show is written and directed by Bradley Bredeweg with choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento, musical direction by Gregory Nabours, set design by James Pearse Connelly, costume design by Abby Clarke, lighting design by Adam King, sound design by Yvonne Gilbert, casting by Harry Blumenau Casting, production management by James Anderton and general management by Wildpark Entertainment.
Scissorhandz will play at the Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 23 January - 29 March 2025.
