The Licensing Company will officially offer performance rights for THE OSMONDS: A NEW MUSICAL starting in April 2027. Following a successful run across the UK and Ireland, this production brings the story of the band and their massive catalog to global stages.
Why it matters
The musical was made available for licensing to meet consistent public demand following the conclusion of its successful original tour. It allows community and professional theaters to access a show built around a legacy of over 100 million records sold.
The show incorporates more than 20 musical hits from a career that spans over 100 million records sold worldwide. Producers are now accepting applications for companies to stage their own versions of the show.
