Donny Osmond brings Vegas show to the Beacon Theatre

Whether it’s one of his hits from his teen idol days, like “Puppy Love,” or his 1988 comeback hit “Soldier of Love,” Donny Osmond says his show has it all. It’s the same one that has been a hit in Las Vegas.

“I don’t want people to see an abbreviated show because they are not going to see the full thing that is getting awards. And so if you want to see the award-winning show, you’ve got to take the whole thing out, so I brought everything to the Beacon [Theatre],” Osmond said.

Osmond will be performing at the Beacon Theatre in the Upper West Side on July 12. The theatre opened in 1929 as a movie palace, and has hosted many of the greats in show business over the years.

Osmond has been performing since the 1960s, first with his older brothers, solo as a teen sensation, and with sister, Marie. The show features a little bit of all of that, and more, including an audience request session.

“It is pretty much everything I’ve done in six decades. Somebody used a word the other day that was just so appropriate when they saw the show. They said, ‘This show is Americana.’ I said, ‘What do you mean by that?’ [They said] it is nostalgic, but yet it’s current and it takes us all back to a time when life was a little bit easier and it’s just a feel-good show,” he said.

Osmond has done it all as a performer from Broadway, film, and television. He says he thought his career would be winding down, but he is still gaining fans with his recent endeavors, like appearances on Dancing with the Stars, The Masked Singer, and singing a song for the soundtrack of the Disney film Mulan. 

“It’s a lot of work to reinvent yourself, because once you hit it successfully, in a certain genre, people pigeonhole you in that. Well, it’s been a lifetime of reinvention,” said Osmond.
