ENTERTAINMENT: Flamingo Goin’ Coconuts with Donny and Marie

  The Flamingo made it official Thursday: Donny and Marie Osmond will be the hotel’s next resident headline act starting Sept. 9, after Toni Braxton wraps a two-year run.
   The brother-and-sister team will front a full production show with a custom stage, video screens, four singers and 10 dancers. Tickets for the first three months go on sale Monday at $85, $99 and $115 before taxes and fees. Unless, of course, you’re such a fan that you want to shell out for a $250 “VIP package” that includes an after-show photo with the stars.
  The show is produced by singing impressionist Danny Gans and his manager Chip Lightman through their GansLight Entertainment. Lightman says Gans called him one Sunday with the idea, and the two tracked down Donny after a show at The Orleans to pitch their ideas. “This is what I wanted for years,” the singer told them.
  Indeed. The singer told the Review-Journal in June 2006: "If things go well, it'll be there next year. ... I think the money's in place, I'm just trying to find the right real estate."
  But the magic ingredient turned out to be Marie. Specifically, the renewed interest in her thanks to “Dancing With the Stars” last fall. “It had to be Donny and Marie to sell out 750 seats,” Lightman says. “It has to be an event. That was the event, getting them back together.”
