Casting
The part of Alan Yentob in the forthcoming musical at the Donmar will be played by 60-year-old opera singer Omar Ebrahim. Omar is a baritone, which might disappoint fans who hoped that Alan might be interpreted by a tenor or indeed, a counter-tenor.
Born in the Rotherham suburb of Greasbrough, he began singing as a chorister at Coventry Cathedral and went on to study voice at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
