John Tiffany: "It's all sorted. We've got the Lyric Theatre, and I think we're almost there with the actors. We open next year, spring."

Tiffany also revealed that he met and knew J.K. Rowling well before she became an internationally-renowned author with the Harry Potter books over 20 years ago, spotting her at a famous Edinburgh shop where she wrote the first in her series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
