The man who just can't get Al Johnson out of his system
After huge success as Jolson in the late 90s, Allan is back for more in Jolson & Co '“ The Musical which tours to Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre until Saturday (April 4).
"He just keeps popping up in my life," Allan laughs. "Back in '96 there was a big production that was in the West End with Brian Conley in Jolson The Musical. It was a huge part and they asked me to come in and join the team and do a couple of shows a week.
