Osmondmania Comes to PBS

Osmond 50th Anniversary Reunion

The Osmonds will celebrate a historic 50th Anniversary in entertainment with an all-star music special for television on PBS, “The Osmonds’ 50th Anniversary Reunion,” starring The Osmond Brothers, with special guests Donny, Marie and Jimmy. The special airs on KUED-Channel 7 Saturday, March 7:00 at p.m. and again Tuesday, March 4, at 8:30 p.m.

Produced by Jimmy Osmond, the live concert special, taped before a live audience at the Orleans Hotel Showroom in Las Vegas, will feature all seven siblings -- Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie, and Jimmy, performing many of their chart-topping hit songs. The show will mark the first time in many years that the entire Osmond family will reunite, performing together on the same stage. The special will also include cameo appearances by celebrity guests, including the legendary Andy Williams, video clips, and a mix of musical numbers.

Included in the special are some of the Osmond Brothers’ hit songs, “Lazy River,” “We’re Having a Party,” “Proud One,” “One Bad Apple,” “Double Loving,” and “Yo Yo.” Donny performs his hit singles, “Puppy Love,” “Breeze On By,” and “Soldier of Love,” and sister Marie entertains with her hit song “Paper Roses” and a medley of her Broadway repertoire, including songs from “The Sound of Music” and the "King and I."

Donny and Marie team up and perform a medley of their famous hits, including: “I’m Leaving It All Up to You,” “Little Bit Country and Little Bit Rock & Roll,” “It Takes Two,” and Make the World Go Away,” while brother Jimmy performs one of his number one hit records “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool.” Jimmy, Donny and Marie join their brothers in performing a medley of “Love Me For A Reason,” “Let Me In,” “Crazy Horses,” “He Ain’t Heavy,” and “Through the Years.” They also pay a musical tribute to their two older brothers Virl and Tom and the Children’s Miracle Network (founded by their parents).
