Osmond is currently visiting PBS-TV stations to pump his new CD "This Is the Moment" (Universal Classics Group), a collection of Broadway hits including "Luck Be a Lady" and "Seasons of Love," "recorded with a new style and sound thanks to legendary music producer Phil Ramone," according to a press release. Ramone has worked with Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel and Frank Sinatra.

Osmond, who starred on stage as "Joseph" in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," will hit 20 theaters in May and June before traveling overseas for a three-month tour of Europe, Asia and Australia.
