New York: Donny Osmond has extended his stay with Beauty and the Beast through December 24th. He was scheduled to play Gaston through November 21st.

"I’m having such a great time on Broadway that I couldn’t resist hanging around a little longer," Osmond said in a statement. "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."It has also been announced that due to previously scheduled commitments, Osmond will not perform in the December 5th, 6th, 13th, and 17th shows.The musical currently stars Sarah Uriarte Berry as Belle, Steve Blanchard as The Beast, Christopher Duva as Cogsworth, Jeanne Lehmann as Mrs. Potts, Stuart Marland as Lumiere, Meredith Inglesby as Babette, Jamie Ross as Maurice, Mary Stout as Madame de la Grande Bouche, and Aldrin Gonzalez as Lefou. Trevor Braun and Marlon Sherman alternate the role of Chip.The musical features lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, music by Alan Menken, and a book by Linda Woolverton. Beauty and the Beast is the elaborate stage production of Disney's animated classic that can currently be seen at the Lunt- Fontanne Theater. Belle is a beautiful, misunderstood young woman who falls in love with the deformed beast who has captured her. Little does she know that a spell was cast on him and it can only be broken (and he can return to his true form) if she truly falls in love with him. For Beauty and the Beast tickets click here.
