LAS VEGAS (May 25) - The Osmonds will reunite this summer for a TV special celebrating a half-century in the entertainment business.

 

Seven Osmond siblings - Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy - are scheduled to be onstage Aug. 13-14 at The Orleans Hotel Showroom, publicist Kevin Sasaki said Thursday from Los Angeles.

 

Tickets for the live shows range from $75 to $125.

 

The shows will be taped for "The Osmonds 50th Anniversary," which will air next March on PBS stations.

 

"At first it was just a tribute to my brothers, but it came together as a celebration of everybody. It's out of control," Jimmy Osmond, producer of the special, said Thursday.

 

"We started so young, you would think 50 years means we're a bunch of old guys. We aren't a bunch of old guys," he said, noting that family members perform frequently before audiences young and old.

 

First, the Spice Girls, now the Osmonds!..The end of the world is clearly close at hand...........

50 years in the industry? Sheesh, they didn't break the national scene until the '70s.

Most entertainers are "in the business" several years before they hit mega-stardom -if they ever do

The Osmonds were regulars on the Andy Williams show before they had their first big hit.
