Have had a crush on him since the 70s! My girlfriend called and we are going to see him in September in Beauty and the Beast as Gaston. I have already seen the Broadway production 4 times and cant wait to see him in it. Should be alot of fun. The girl who is playing Belle now, Ashley Brown, just booked Mary Poppins so I have no idea who will be playing Belle. Met Donny and his lovely family in Disney last Christmas, they sat next to us at a restaurant there!

I can't see Donny as Gaston. How can he play such a bad guy???? And wouldn't Belle WANT to marry him???

I saw Donny twice in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He was fantastic in it! I'd love to see him as Gaston, but alas, probably won't!

heck, if Belle won't, I will! Can't imagine sweet little Donny Osmond playing Gaston, but I would love to see him in it!
