Full Version: Matthew Bourne's Edward Scissorhands
I love the show. It may not be the best or most challenging choreography but I really enjoyed it when I last saw it.
I'm also going to be around when it's on.
Sorry to hijack your thread but does anyone know what the seats at the back of the second circle are like?

I loved it first time around =D
I was quite disappointed with this one.
MB’s strength is in narrative and not dance, I found this piece to have neither and it left me rather bored. It’s very fluffy and camp just like MB’s nutcracker but at least that one had a great score.
I’m maybe the wrong person to comment on MB as I’ve seen most of his stuff and started off loving it and now I’m becoming tired (Tomorrow’s performance of Dorian Grey maybe my last one!) … Is MB like Katie Mitchell? Always using the same designers, composers and that oh so familiar style?
The seats at the back of the circle are fine. Although this one won’t sell out and you will be able to get it at TKTS or on any of the other offers places. I promise. In recent years his Nutcracker and Swan Lake was there for both Friday and Saturday nights

Yes. (in a word!) … Is MB like Katie Mitchell? Always using the same designers, composers and that oh so familiar style?

What KM has done for pouring salt on tables MB has done for brothel creepers and pink wigs
Have always loved Matthew Bourne's works but never seen them live before (apart from Mary Poppins), missed Dorian Gray and Nutcracker and this around 2-3 yrs ago so when I heard its returning AND there's a facebook discount for 10 pounds per ticket from 3-5th Dec, I bounced at the chance. Got myself a ticket for a tenner first row of stalls... what a kickass deal!
Well... got myself all excited and was it worth it?? YES DEFINITELY!!! It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen! Ok, the choreography was good and great fun but not like WOW WOW amazing but the costumes, sets and OMG those Danny Elfman tunes with the amazing cast... just turned me into tears at least twice throughout the show!! The curtain call with the snowing foam was definitely a really nice touch! I am especially impressed with Dominic North's Edward, so innocent so cute so adorable.... i liked him so much that i drew him: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c232/fel...ominicNorth.jpg
Go watch the show at Sadlers Well if you can !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
