ike Elvis, Sinatra and Celine…The Osmonds have been synonymous with Vegas! From the early years as a family group to Donny and Marie’s recent residency run which was a staple on the Strip for more than a decade. Now Donny has returned as a solo headliner at Harrah’s and the show is such a success, additional dates have already been announced for the new year. However, Donny told me even though he’s doing his own show this time, his kid sister still has a special part in the production. “The first thing I wanted to do in the show is a tribute to Marie because we have such a bond together. And I went through every moment of those old Donny & Marie shows and picked out those perfect sweet spots.” There’s lots of sweet spots in the high energy show which chronicles the star’s 60-year career in one incredibly unique way! “Did you like the rap?” Donny asks me. Yes, you heard correctly, Donny raps! In a 10-minute “Hamilton-sequel” rap, Donny details the highs and lows of his six decades of in entertainment. “It’s probably one of my favorite parts of the show, very difficult because it gets so fast but it’s funny, there are parts where I talk about my failures and the successes.”
