The Osmonds - a New Musical takes the concept of jukebox musical, flips it on its head and provides 2 and a half hours of world class entertainment. 

The brand new production tells the true story of the five brothers (and a sister!) from Utah who were pushed into the spotlight as children and went on to create smash hits decade after decade.

Written by Jay Osmond, the show gives his perspective of the families journey from a barber-shop quartet of preteens to their reunion in 2008: their first concert as a group for over 25 years.  

Featuring a chart topping list of anthems including Love Me For A Reason, Crazy Horses and One Bad Apple, this is a show that will transport you back to the relive the golden age of music and show you why the band managed to sell over 100 million records worldwide and win 59 Gold & Platinum awards.

Whether you’re a die-hard superfan or just someone with an inquisitive nature, you can’t help but find your foot tapping and your mind harmonising.

As soon as you take your seat you’re met with a cascade of colours which are prevalent throughout in the lighting, costume and set. 

Each and every single actor blew the roof off tonight. Having to stop on more than one occasion for a standing ovation, to imitate a band of this kalibur was always going to be a big ask but one that the cast absolutely pulled off.

Special mention has to go to Jasper Penny (Young  Merrill Osmond), Harvey Loakes (Young Alan Osmond), Lonan Johnstone (Young Jay Osmond), Austin Redwood (Young Wayne Osmond), Matthias Green (Young Donny Osmond) and Austin Riley (Young Jimmy Osmond) for a creative and captivating portrayal of the young Osmonds. Their maturity and stage presence was monumental and their cheeky, loveable nature had the audience in the palm of their hand.

But, for me, performance of the night went to Jay Osmond himself - Alex Lodge. A confident and assured take on the life of a gentleman, who was sitting less than 12 feet away in a box, Lodge is barely off stage and doesn’t miss a beat. With a number of costume changes and some demanding songs to perform, Lodge really stepped up to the plate this evening.

The Osmonds: A New Musical is at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre until Saturday 19th March. Tickets can be purchased online at grandtheatre.co.uk.
