UK tour of THE OSMONDS: A NEW MUSICAL announces new 2022 dates

New tour dates have been revealed for The Osmonds: A New Musical, now opening at Curve, Leicester on 3 February 2022.

After Leicester, the production will visit Ipswich, Glasgow, Oxford, Woking, Cheltenham, Wolverhampton, Blackpool, Stoke-on-Trent, Belfast, Peterborough, Bromley, Northampton, Southend, York, Manchester, Wimbledon, Torquay, Liverpool, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Brighton, Cardiff, High Wycombe, Hull, Birmingham, Aberdeen, Southampton, Dartford, Bradford and Llandudno.

Written by Jay Osmond, the piece tells the true story of the five brothers from Utah who were pushed into the spotlight as children and went on to create smash hits, decade after decade.

Jay Osmond said: “I’ve wanted to tell my story for such a long time and the opportunity to create this beautiful musical, a sort of ‘living autobiography’, seemed the perfect way to do so.  I spent my whole life performing live - on stage, on TV specials, in arenas - so the buzz of live theatre felt like the perfect place for me.

“There were some difficult times in my life and some big hurdles to overcome and this musical will tell people things that will surprise them… but despite that trouble, when you look back and think of the fans, the music, the once in a lifetime things we did - it’s joyful.

“I guess I want to do this now to try to spread a little bit of that joy.  I’ll know I’ve done a good job telling this story if I stand at the back of the theatre and see people waving their arms in the air, singing along and dancing in the aisles.  I just want people to be enjoying themselves.  I guess that is in the Osmonds' DNA.” 

The musical features a list of 1970s anthems including ‘One Bad Apple’, ‘Down by the Lazy River’, ‘Crazy Horses’, ‘Let Me In’, ‘Love Me for a Reason’, ‘(We’re) Having a Party’, ‘Puppy Love’, ‘Long Haired Lover From Liverpool’, ‘Paper Roses’ and many more.  

THE OSMONDS: A New Musical has a book by Julian Bigg and Shaun Kerrison and will be directed by Shaun Kerrison, with choreography and musical staging by Bill Deamer.

Full casting is to be announced.
