the verb sense is rather archaic, and strained to my ear:
1697 C. LESLIE Snake in Grass (ed. 2) 46 This James Naylor suffer'd himself to be
Hosanna'd into Bristol, as Christ was into Jerusalem. 1775 P. OLIVER in T. Hutchinson's Diary 31 Oct. (1886) II. 110 They Hosanna'd a man who was known to be infamous in all vices. 1851 H. ANGUS Serm. (1861) 143 The act of him who has been much hosannaed as if he were a Saviour.
"...theatrical economics being what they are and are not, anything that places posteriors in the seats and money in the coffers and keeps the enterprise afloat should be hallelujah'd and hosanna'd. So, hallelujah and hosanna." - Michael Bettencourt
