DONNY OSMOND

The PUPPY LOVE singer was originally scheduled to star in the musical until the end of next month (NOV06), but admits he's having too much fun to walk away.

He says, "I'm having such a great time on Broadway that I couldn't resist hanging around a little longer.

"New York audiences have welcomed me with open arms, and I couldn't think of a more special way to spend the holidays than on Broadway in New York City."

Osmond's role as Gaston is his first Broadway appearance since making his debut in LITTLE JOHNNY JONES in 1982. He went on to star in the North American touring company production of JOSEPH + THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.
