‘Scissorhands’ set at Ahmanson

“Edward Scissorhands,” British choreographer Matthew Bourne’s ballet adaptation of Tim Burton’s 1990 film, will play at the Ahmanson Theatre Dec. 12-31. The piece, which premiered in London in November, features music that composer Terry Davies based on Danny Elfman’s original film score.

“Scissorhands” will be the sixth Bourne dance creation presented in L.A. since his 1997 American premiere at the Ahmanson with “Swan Lake.”
