Marie Osmond: The Reinvention of a Lifetime
You can see the legendary Marie Osmond perform her greatest hits — and much more — in her latest special, An Evening with Marie.
And today, the beloved entertainer joins us in person.
When Marie walks into a room, the energy shifts. Crew members gather, faces light up, and everyone seems to smile just a little wider. It’s a reaction she’s used to — but never takes for granted.
“It blows my mind that I’m still working,” she laughs.
“And I’m having more fun than ever.”
A Dream 20 Years in the Making
Marie’s new project is perhaps the most ambitious of her career:
a 17-song symphonic album, recorded in Prague with a full orchestra.
She performs everything from the Great American Songbook to full classical opera — the result of more than 20 years of vocal training.
“I never thought I could sing opera,” she says.
A Broadway vocal coach once said she had the voice for it.
“And I told her, ‘Shut up!’ — and then I trained for two decades.”
Marie will take the album on a holiday symphonic tour, featuring 60 musicians onstage — no backing tracks, no digital tricks.
“With symphonic music, everything is live. You get one shot — like Broadway.”
She partnered with BYUtv for a global televised special.
With 50 million viewers worldwide — including U.S. military audiences — fans will be able to watch the show for free.
Family, Faith, and Full-Circle Love
Marie first attended BYU briefly before being pulled back on the road to perform with her family — a decision she remembers fondly, despite never having a “normal” college experience.
Years later, she finds herself entering a new season of life.
After remarrying her first husband, Stephen Craig, the couple recently became empty-nesters.
“People ask how to make a marriage last,” she jokes.
“My husband says — stay apart for 20 years.”
With their kids grown, the pair bought a motor home and took a long-awaited American road trip: Yellowstone, wide-open country, and even the Idaho cabin where her mother was born.
Roots, Courage, and Lifetime Lessons
Osmond credits her resilience to her upbringing.
Born on her father’s birthday, she was the only sister among eight brothers.
Her parents taught her to work hard, chase dreams, and — most importantly — not fear change.
“Close a door if you need to. Walk away. Open a new one.”
That philosophy led her to leave The Talk at the height of success, and to walk away from an 11-year Las Vegas residency.
“You don’t always have to top something. Just follow your passion.”
The Next Chapter
What’s after the symphonic album?
Marie reveals she is producing — and acting in — a new Lifetime Christmas film, A Fiancé for Christmas.
“I don’t always need to star,” she says proudly.
“I want stories where every character matters.”
She hopes to produce more projects centered on women, creativity, and meaningful storytelling.
Joy, Positivity, and Purpose
Marie believes deeply in joy — even when life gets painful.
“Faith is a positive attitude,” she says.
“Life can take us through hell, but it’s what we turn it into that matters.”
And after decades in entertainment, she insists her greatest mission is simple:
“We need hope. We need happiness.
We need music again.”
With her new album, new tour, and new adventures, Marie Osmond isn’t just returning to the stage —
she’s stepping into the most fearless chapter of her career.
