America’s favorite siblings bring variety to center Strip beginning Sept. 9

LAS VEGAS,–Flamingo Las Vegas announces Donny and Marie Osmond as the resort’s newest headliner in the Flamingo Showroom. Beginning Sept. 9, the duo will dazzle audiences of all ages with their iconic style of entertainment.

Presented by Danny Gans and Chip Lightman of GansLight Entertainment, the 90-minute extravaganza will highlight Donny & Marie’s greatest hits in a multimedia spectacle presented on a custom designed stage with multiple video screens and a large cast of dancers. This will mark the first time in 29 years that they will have performed an extended residency engagement in Las Vegas.

“My version of a variety show has been what Vegas has known thus far,” said Gans. “What we have now is a true variety show which conveys the real essence of America and the country’s love of homegrown talent.”

The “a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll” duo took the country by storm with the debut of the “Donny & Marie” variety show in 1976, becoming the youngest primetime hosts in television history. This universally popular series solidified their worldwide fan base, which still numbers in the millions. After multiple solo successes, the pair teamed up once again in 1998, hosting the hit nationally syndicated daytime talk show “Donny & Marie.” They recently hosted the “Miss USA” pageant, and on Mother’s Day will be hosting “America’s Favorite Mom,” both NBC primetime specials.

“Donny and Marie are timeless entertainers and cultural icons,” said Don Marrandino, president of Flamingo Las Vegas. “We look forward to welcoming the celebrated duo to the Flamingo and are confident that their talent, charisma and showmanship will be warmly received by audiences.”

Tickets for Donny & Marie are on sale beginning on April 28. Showtime is 7:30 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday with an additional Saturday matinee at 3:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $85, $99 and $115 (plus tax and fees).

A limited number of VIP packages are available for $250 (plus tax and fees), which includes a special after-show commemorative photo with the stars. Tickets are available at the Flamingo Box Office, by phone at (702) 733-3333 or (800) 221-7299 or by visiting www.flamingolasvegas.com
