Edward Scissorhands 2 New York Drama Desk Award: Unique Theatrical Experience

Manchester Evening News Award: Best New Dance Production

"Demolishing conventions, bestriding art forms from ballet to musical comedy to film, Bourne's work isn't just high-brow or low-brow.  It's all-brow....  Composer Terry Davies has expanded Danny Elfman's original themes into a full, luscious score."  Time Magazine

"From the beginning the Matthew Bourne - Tim Burton chemistry is fizzing.... a cracking piece of theatre."  The Guardian

"The entire ensemble takes its cues from Terry Daviesís score, a sparkling mélange of lounge-friendly instrumentals including some of Danny Elfman's original film music. Played live by members of the Royal Ballet Sinfonia under Timothy Henty's baton, it sounds wonderful" The Times

"Terry Davies' score is also a plus: he's taken Danny Elfman's soaring synth motifs and stitched them into a continuum by adding new material and re-orchestrating the whole. You can't spot the joins." Independent on Sunday
