EXCLUSIVE: John Tiffany, who won Tony and Olivier awards for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, will direct the world premiere of new stage musical Wild Rose, based on the 2018 Nicole Taylor film.
A workshop is being arranged for early 2023 and it’s hoped that a production of Wild Rose will open in Scotland in 2024, with the possibility of it transferring to London’s West End and Broadway. Tiffany will direct the premiere and all future iterations.
