Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to closely resemble Dolly Parton, regardless of which stage of her career, there's a chance that she might consider selecting you to be part of a Broadway production based on her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life into a musical, as confirmed by her statement to People magazine.
She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant goal she has had for a long time. Making sure she accomplishes this goal while she is still active and able to participate in it is of utmost importance to her.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, without limiting it to those who have extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she might lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they will search for talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, an earlier phase of Dolly's life, and an older Dolly.
Parton explains that they will be conducting auditions to discover talented individuals using various methods. Parton believes that this process will not only be enjoyable for them, but also for the audience. They emphasize that the search for these talents is unpredictable, as they may be individuals who have never performed on stage before or have only been involved in local theater productions. Parton expresses excitement about the search and believes it will add to the overall enjoyment of the experience.
Dolly Parton has mentioned the concept of a musical based on her life in previous interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by the end of 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The country music icon has several career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. Parton expressed her desire to create her own television network in an interview with Taste of Country last January. She is determined to make this dream a reality in the near future.
