Dolly Parton is interested in holding a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is searching for individuals who closely resemble her, whether it be from any point in her successful career. If you happen to resemble Dolly Parton, she may be interested in considering you for a role in a Broadway musical that will portray her life story.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning her life story into a musical, as she mentioned in an interview with People magazine.
She expresses that one of her biggest goals has always been to go on Broadway and have her own show. It is something she has been determined to achieve for a long time and she wants to make sure she accomplishes it while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, which includes the unconventional decision to allow individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly. This casting approach is not limited to those who have extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she might take charge of a competition called "Finding Dolly," where a wide talent hunt will be conducted to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions will include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as clarified by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for performers using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton adds. "You never know where we might discover these talented individuals. They could be completely new to the stage or perhaps have performed in small local theaters. Our search for them will certainly add an exciting element to the whole experience."
Parton has previously mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life in various interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to life by "late '25," as per her recent discussion with People magazine.
One of the many ambitions of the renowned country artist is to achieve a certain career dream. In January of the previous year, Parton expressed her desire to create her own television network in an interview with Taste of Country. She hopes to accomplish this aspiration in the near future.
