Donny still delivers.
Donny Osmond made a surprise appearance Wednesday night at BYU Women’s Conference near his home and captivated an audience of 8,254 women and girls with his singing voice and his witness of Jesus Christ.
The 67-year-old star sang “Any Dream Will Do” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Marriott Center on BYU’s campus to amplify a message about Joseph given by his boyhood friend, Brother Brad Wilcox, first counselor in the Young Men General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Brother Wilcox first brought out to the stage Osmond’s wife, Debbie, and their children and grandchildren, without saying who they were. He had them play the roles of the family of Joseph’s father, Jacob, whom God gave the new name Israel and whose family became the 12 tribes of Israel.
“The only thing that could have made this better is if we’d had the person who’d played the role of Joseph in the musical 2,000 times,” Brother Wilcox said with a big smile.
Then Osmond walked on stage in the coat of many colors he’d worn for all those performances and the 1999 movie, stunning the audience, which responded with cheers.
The next 18 minutes were unforgettable, as Osmond sang two songs, described his patriarchal blessing and spoke with Brother Wilcox, who asked him what he’d learned about God’s love as he played Joseph for six years.
