The Osmond legacy is set to take the stage once again — this time, in a way the world has never seen before. In a moment that has fans around the world buzzing with excitement, Donny Osmond has officially announced that “The Osmonds: A New Musical” will make its long-awaited U.S. premiere in 2026, following its critically acclaimed run in the United Kingdom. The production will open at the Covey Center for the Arts in Utah, running from March through April 2026, marking a monumental homecoming for the beloved family who changed pop music forever.
🎭 A Musical Decades in the Making
“The Osmonds: A New Musical” isn’t just another jukebox show — it’s a deeply personal retelling of one of America’s most remarkable entertainment stories. Donny Osmond, who not only inspired generations with his voice but also lived every chapter of the Osmond saga, has stepped into the writer’s seat to share the truth behind the music.
“This story has lived in my heart my whole life,” Donny said in a heartfelt announcement. “It’s about family, fame, faith, and forgiveness — and I think audiences will see a part of themselves in our journey.”
From humble beginnings in Ogden, Utah, to global superstardom, the Osmonds became a cultural phenomenon. They broke records, inspired millions, and stood as symbols of unity and positivity during some of America’s most turbulent decades. But behind the smiles and harmonies were moments of sacrifice, loss, and resilience — stories now being told with raw honesty and emotional depth through this musical.
🌟 The Story: Behind the Music, Beyond the Fame
The musical takes audiences back to the 1960s and 70s, tracing the Osmonds’ journey from a small-town barbershop quartet to international stardom. The production features the music that defined an era — hits like “One Bad Apple,” “Love Me for a Reason,” and “Crazy Horses.” But it also pulls back the curtain on what fame cost the family — the long tours, the pressure to stay perfect, and the pain of growing up in the spotlight.
Donny’s script captures not just the glamour but the grit — the endless rehearsals, the family’s faith that kept them grounded, and the love that held them together when the lights dimmed. It’s a story of dreams, dedication, and redemption — told with the kind of authenticity that only someone who lived it could bring.
🎶 The Heart of the Show
At the center of the musical is the message that fame fades, but family endures. The emotional core lies in the relationships — brothers who became bandmates, parents who became managers, and children who became global icons.
Donny has woven his own memories into the dialogue, blending humor, humility, and heart. Viewers can expect laughter, tears, and goosebumps as they relive defining moments — from The Andy Williams Show breakthrough to Donny and Marie’s legendary Las Vegas era.
“It’s about what it means to hold on to your values when the world wants you to change,” Donny shared. “It’s about remembering who you are when the spotlight goes out.”
💫 A Homecoming of Heart and Harmony
The decision to open the U.S. production at the Covey Center for the Arts carries deep emotional significance. Utah isn’t just where the Osmonds came from — it’s where their legacy began. Fans from around the country are already planning pilgrimages to Provo to witness what many are calling a “spiritual return” of the family’s story.
Local officials anticipate the production will draw thousands of visitors, celebrating not only the Osmonds’ legacy but also the enduring spirit of American entertainment. “This isn’t just a show — it’s history,” one Utah arts representative said. “It’s the return of a family that shaped music, culture, and faith for generations.”
❤️ A Gift for Fans — and a Legacy for the Future
For Donny, “The Osmonds: A New Musical” is more than nostalgia — it’s a way of giving back. After more than six decades in the spotlight, he’s using the stage to inspire future dreamers, performers, and believers.
“The message I want people to take away,” Donny explained, “is that no matter what life throws at you — hold on to love, to faith, to family. That’s what got us through everything.”
The production also includes a tribute to the late Alan and Merrill Osmond, honoring their immense contributions to the family’s success and to music history as a whole. Audiences can expect a powerful finale that leaves no eye dry — a moment Donny describes as “the most emotional thing I’ve ever written.”
🌍 From Utah to the World
While its U.S. debut begins in Utah, international talks are already underway for a full North American tour in 2027. The musical’s earlier U.K. run received glowing reviews for its heartfelt storytelling and electrifying performances, with critics calling it “a love letter to family, music, and resilience.”
Now, under Donny Osmond’s creative direction, the U.S. version promises even greater emotional depth — a true celebration of a family that shaped the soundtrack of countless lives.
As opening night approaches, one thing is clear: this isn’t just the story of the Osmonds — it’s the story of anyone who has ever dared to dream, fallen down, and found the courage to rise again.
