Below, BroadwayWorld is excited to debut an exclusive track from the album- "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music.
"I was honored to play Maria for the Rodgers and Hammerstein organization. My son Stephen played Kurt, one of the von Trapp children, after auditioning for our director James Hammerstein, son of Oscar Hammerstein II, so it was truly a family affair," Osmond told BroadwayWorld. "As sometimes happens in the theater, a favorite song in a particular musical is not necessarily the one sung by your character. 'Climb Every Mountain' was sung to my character, Maria, by Mother Superior, while I stood and listened. Well, more like stood enraptured and enthralled. It's an inspiring and timeless message. So now, as Marie, I finally get to sing my favorite song, which has inspired me throughout my life to 'Climb Every Mountain' and dream every dream that we possibly can."
