Donny Osmond?

Posted: 11/20/05 at 10:07am

I was wondering if you think that Donny Osmond should get another shot at broadway (he did when he was younger but the show closed after only one performance)? I was listening to my JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT video sountrack and I started thinking how good of a voice he really has. Also, his broadway cd THIS IS THE MOMENT is superb. So, what do you think? Should he get another chance?

It couldn't hurt! I can't see him being in any of the shows out right now, but I saw him three times as Joseph and was totally in love with him when I was younger, which was pretty illegal (it still is). He does have an amazing voice, though.

I absolutely LOVE Donny Osmond and I think he is an incredibly talented performer. I'd love to see him in Chicago or Beauty and the Beast, or Aida, if they'd revive it.

I saw him do Joseph in Toronto and have the cast recording. He is wonderful. I've been a fan for decades (yes...I'm THAT old.)

He would do great on Broadway--even if only in a limited run!

I think he would do well as Billy Flyn (I know I spelled that all wrong). Trust me, if you haven't picked up his cd THIS IS THE MOMENT I strongly suggest that you do.

He is by far my favorite of all the Josephs I have heard.

I picked up Donny Osmond's autobiography at Borders when it was marked down to $1. It's a very intelligent piece of writing and Donny is quite honest about the image he has and the emotional problems he's had. I recommend it if you can find it. He's a dedicated performer.

I saw Donny in "Joseph" several times in Chicago and he was fantastic. He is such a charasmatic performer.

He did also say somewhere that while doing the Joseph Video, he auditioned for Phantom just for fun and ALW loved him, and has offered him the role whenever he wants it.

Donny Osmond is a VERY talented man, I wish he would do more on Broadway - absolutely, Too bad he's not doing Billy Flynn right now since Huey cannot sing nor act it well (I LOVE YA HUEY BUT STICK TO YOUR OWN MUSIC!) And yes, Donny has a lovely bod to show off, Perhaps he will join this new mounting of "The Full Monty", well, I can dream, can't I, LOL! (You know, He would sound great singing "Breeze off the River"!!!)
