New Adventures adaptation of Tim Burton’s classic Edward Scissorhands returns to The Lowry in Salford in November.
Devised, directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne, the show has carved a place in the hearts of thousands since its première in 2005.
Based on the classic Tim Burton film and featuring music by Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, it tells the bittersweet story of a boy created by a lonely inventor who dies leaving him alone and unfinished.
The title role will be played by two New Adventures stars, Dominic North and Liam Mower. Dominic has played leading roles in most New Adventures productions including Nutcracker!, The Car Man, Early Adventures and Swan Lake. He recently created the role of Leo in Sleeping Beauty and will soon appear at the Lowry as Ralph in Lord of the Flies, a role he created in 2011.
Liam Mower is the Olivier award-winning original star of the West End hit, Billy Elliot. This will be his fifth show for New Adventures having most recently been seen as Count Lilac in Sleeping Beauty and The Prince in Swan Lake.
