Hotels for Donny Osmond - VIVA UK

A veteran showman still touring on the strength of a career that stretches back to teen idol status in the early seventies, with hits that have stayed on the radio ever since. A Friday evening date means an early finish for anyone with a train or a babysitter to think about. Expect a set built around the ballads and singalong numbers that made him a household name, played to a crowd that grew up with the songs. It's a night for nostalgia rather than novelty, with an audience singing along to every word.

A beautifully preserved art-deco theatre in Hammersmith, the Eventim Apollo is one of London's best-loved mid-size music venues, hosting touring bands, comedy and one-off gigs. The surrounding west London district blends riverside pubs along the Thames with the bustle of the Broadway's shops and cafés.

Hammersmith station, served by the District, Piccadilly and other lines, sits almost opposite the entrance. Booking a room nearby means you can spill out after the show straight into the neighbourhood's late bars and easy transport.
