Solo Careers
It wasn’t always Donny and Marie forever since the beginning. After enjoying the 70’s as a duo, they took time to develop solo careers in the next decade. Once Donny Osmond saw Vegas’ Flamingo, he phoned Marie and told her this could be the perfect reunion of their duo.
Easing Tensions
Although fans were ecstatic to have the two back together, it wasn’t so easy for the Osmond siblings. It didn’t take long for Donny to see he no longer controlled the act as he had in the past. He said, “I’m dealing with somebody who is in control of her own career now.” Due to this shift, tensions ran high. Thus, they asked Barry Leather to not only be a director and choreographer, but help mediate any conflict and mend their work relationship.
