Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is searching for individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which period of her career they resemble. If you fit the bill, she may consider casting you in a Broadway production that tells the story of her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
For numerous years, the idea of performing on Broadway and having my own show there has been a significant goal for me. It is something I am determined to accomplish while I am still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By taking this approach, she will have the opportunity to exercise her creativity and make decisions, such as the unconventional choice of allowing auditions for the role of Dolly from individuals with various backgrounds, not exclusively those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton mentioned that she could potentially be in charge of a contest called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct a wide-ranging talent search to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions would include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
Parton explains that they will be conducting auditions and utilizing various methods to discover talented individuals. Parton believes that this process will also be enjoyable for the audience. The search for these individuals will be unpredictable, as they may have never performed on stage before or may have only been involved in local theater. Nonetheless, Parton believes that this search will add to the excitement of the endeavor.
This isn't the initial occasion that Parton has hinted at the notion of a musical centered around her life: She has mentioned it sporadically in interviews before. As per her recent discussion with People, the singer anticipates that the production will be ready by "late '25."
The country music icon has several career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton expressed her desire to create her own television network in the near future.
