– The Pop Culture Icon in the Definitive Concert of His Career –
In 2017, Donny Osmond embarked on a sold-out United Kingdom arena tour. The final performance, at the Birmingham National Exhibition Center, was filmed in HD, capturing the pop heartthrob as he performs many of his beloved top hits plus a range of classics from every genre. With new songs from his 60th — yes 60th!— album along with his enduring repertoire, this concert beautifully showcases his legendary appeal. DONNY OSMOND: ONE NIGHT ONLY! is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations in December 2018 (check local listings).
From his teenage days to the present, through thousands of concerts and millions of records, Osmond has remained an international household name with a devoted fan base. Proving that his place in music history is well deserved, this is the definitive concert for this pop culture icon.
