Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is open to considering individuals who strongly resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. If you are selected, there is a possibility that you could be chosen to play her in a Broadway production based on her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she recently disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that performing on Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant aspiration for her. 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 artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow casting for the role of Dolly from individuals of diverse backgrounds, not only limited to those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she might lead a contest called "Finding Dolly", where they will conduct a wide search for talented individuals to play three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, an earlier years Dolly, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and using various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton explains. "It is unpredictable where we may come across these talents. They could be individuals who have never performed on stage or perhaps have only been involved in local theater productions. Nevertheless, our search for them will be an exciting part of the experience."
Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical about her life on previous occasions. In a recent interview with People, the singer expressed her desire to have the show ready by the end of 2025.
The country 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.
