Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is searching for individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which phase of her career they resemble. If you resemble her, she may consider casting you in a Broadway musical that revolves around her life story.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning her life story into a musical, as she shared with People magazine.
She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her show there has been a significant goal that she has been thinking about for a long time. She emphasizes that this is the one goal she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make choices that require creativity, such as the unconventional decision to allow individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, not just those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a contest called "Finding Dolly," where a wide search for talent would take place to find actors for three versions of the main character. These versions would include a young Dolly, a Dolly in her earlier years, and an older Dolly according to the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for them using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton explains. "It's unpredictable where we will discover these individuals. They could be inexperienced performers or perhaps have only participated in small local productions. Nonetheless, we will actively search for them, and I believe that will add to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life in the past, mentioning it in various interviews. The singer expressed her desire for the show to be produced by the end of 2025, as per her recent conversation with People magazine.
The country music icon has multiple career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton shared her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
