For Wallace, Warchus & Co., the answer is: not this one, not yet. They plan a London opening of LOTR a year from now, then Berlin or Hamburg, perhaps Broadway in 2008. (Contracts that Wallace has signed with his Canadian co-producers require that Toronto be the show's only North American venue for 18 months.) But, McKenna insists, "this isn't a tryout.
