Rowling, and director John Tiffany, premiered in the West End in 2016 before going on to play Broadway's Lyric Theatre. An Australian production opened in Melbourne in February this year, and productions are slated to bow in Hamburg (marking the first non-English language mounting) and Toronto in 2020.
