The sibling performers have added on an additional 21 performances to their schedule starting from December 9 and ending their run on December 30, reports The Associated Press. The show marks the first time the siblings have shared a Broadway stage and will sing hits and holiday songs with a live band.

Donny and Marie Osmond are both singers and have performed on Broadway separately before. They currently have a show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

They have released duets together and are known for the song "I'm A Little Bit Country, I'm a Little Bit Rock and Roll", which was featured on their musical variety series, "Donny and Marie", which ran between 1976 and 1979.

Donny Osmond, 52, starred in Andrew Lloyd Weber's biblical musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and played Gaston in Disney's musical "Beauty & The Beast". Marie Osmond, 51, made her Broadway debut in 1997 as Anna in The King and I and played Maria von Trapp in a world tour of The Sound of Music.

Marie Osmond also hit "The Oprah Winfrey Show" stage recently to talk about her son's suicide. In an episode that airs Thursday, Osmond tells Winfrey in a preview for the show, "I've been through some tough things in my life. This is & probably the hardest thing I've been through."
