Any word on Edward Scissorhands the musical? It was on a small tour and than it just stopped. I knew a few people who went to go see it and they said it was really wonderful. I know..I know, this is up there with "Silence" the Silence of the Lambs musical. But I've been watching the clips and it seems really cool. I mean Johnny Depp said he nearly cried it was so moving. That's a huge compliment coming from the man who created the character.

What are people's thoughts on this show?

It played the Brooklyn Academy of Music last season and won the Drama Desk Award for Best Special Theatrical Experience.

I love the movie but feel very underwhelmed by the show. I think Bourne's choreograph is cheesy and lack of imagination. The girl who played Kim is completely miscast. Edward is very cute though.

Not good. Lame choreography, and tidied up ending. Yeah, yeah, theatre and film are different mediums, but this was a silly lame version of a beautiful and moving film.
