Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a contest to find people who strongly resemble her, regardless of the time period of her career. The reason behind this is that she is considering the possibility of casting these lookalikes in a Broadway production based on her life.
It is true: Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that one of her long-standing goals has been to go on Broadway and have her own show there. It is a significant achievement that she has been eagerly striving for over the years. She emphasizes the importance of ensuring that she accomplishes this particular goal while she is still alive and actively engaged in the theater industry.
By doing this, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to consider candidates from diverse backgrounds as potential Dollys. This includes individuals who may not necessarily have extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly" where they would search for talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions would include a younger Dolly, an earlier years Dolly, and an older Dolly.
Parton explains that they will be holding auditions and exploring various avenues to discover talented individuals. Parton believes that this process will also be enjoyable for others. The search for these individuals can lead to unexpected places. They may have never performed on stage or have only been involved in local theater, but Parton is excited to uncover these hidden gems as part of the excitement.
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as per her recent conversation with People.
She has multiple career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. The renowned country singer shared with Taste of Country in January that she has a desire to create her own television network in the near future.
