Edward Scissorhands is the story of not-so-normal man (he does have scissors in place of hands, after all) and his troubles fitting into suburbia after being hidden away in the mysterious dwelling of his youth for years. Bourne saw success on Broadway during the 1998-99 season in which he won Tony Awards for Best Direction and Best Choreography of a musical for his all-male version of Swan Lake. More recently, Bourne choreographed Disney's Mary Poppins, which is scheduled to open in November 2006 at Broadway's New Amsterdam Theatre.
