Donny Osmond - Viva UK

Donny Osmond brings VIVA UK to Manchester on 24 January 2027 at Co‑op Live. From Ogden, Utah to prime‑time TV, he first made his mark with the Osmonds before stepping out solo in the early 70s with melodic teen pop. After a quieter spell, he shifted into sleeker adult pop and pop rock around 1989–1990 with Donny Osmond and Eyes Don’t Lie, carried by Soldier of Love, and has since moved between studio, television and the stage. In parallel, his duo with his sister Marie a long‑running TV chapter led to a major Las Vegas residency, while theatre roles like Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast anchored his musical side.

On record, What I Meant to Say and, more recently, Start Again (2021) underline a taste for clean hooks and classic song forms, always centred on the voice. On stage, that trajectory turns into a set that roams across decades, from early solo cuts to later pop material, with arrangements trimmed for a live band and the easy timing of a performer who knows big rooms. VIVA UK is a snapshot of that journey, paced and polished, with the focus squarely on the songs and the craft behind them.
