ORANGE COUNTY, CA-Throughout the years, the Osmonds have delighted audiences with their touring shows, their Top-40 hits, a television show, and even an animated cartoon. Eighty-million albums, 47 gold and platinum records later, America's favorite showbiz family-Osmond brothers Wayne, Jay, Jimmy and Merrill-arrive in Orange County for the holidays! Joining Pacific Symphony for AN OSMOND FAMILY CHRISTMAS, on Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 17-19, at 8 p.m., in the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, the brothers plan to entertain with a mix of the chart-topping hits that started 'Osmondmania' just a few decades ago and their own upbeat versions of Christmas tunes, such as 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,' 'White Christmas' and 'Feliz Navidad.'
It's my firm belief that if composer Leroy Anderson, lyricist Joan Ford and bookwriter/lyricists Walter & Jean Kerr had named their brash and funny 1958 musical comedy about the love/hate relationship between a silent movie director and his reluctant star anything other than Goldilocks, it might not only have had a longer run than its five months on Broadway, but would have been a popular choice among regional and amateur theatres as well. With a good collection of snazzy tunes and well-crafted lyrics (most notably the semi-standard torcher, 'I Never Know When To Say When') and a book loaded with guffaws and wise-cracks (originally quipped by stars Elaine Stritch and Don Ameche), Goldilocks is a solid example of a show that, if not exactly a musical theatre triumph, provided a fun night out for audiences in an era when affordable ticket prices meant that not every Broadway production had to be a huge event.
A WONDERFUL LIFE
A Heart-Warming Musical for the whole Family!
Frank Capra's classic film has been brought to vibrant theatrical life through the remarkable collaboration of librettist & lyricist, Sheldon Harnick and Composer, Joe Raposo. The delightful Musical, A Wonderful Life, faithfully follows the plot of the beloved 1946 film which starred Jimmy Stewart. Filled with lots of heart & good-natured optimism
