Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to look remarkably similar to Dolly Parton, regardless of which stage of her career, she may consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway production that depicts her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning her life story into a musical, as she shared with People magazine.
She expresses that performing on Broadway and having her own show there has been a significant goal of hers for a long time. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this goal while she is still alive and actively involved in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their level of experience in musical theater.
According to Parton, she is considering leading a contest called "Finding Dolly," where a wide talent search will take place to find actors to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for them using various methods. I believe this will also be enjoyable for people," Parton adds. "You never know where you might discover them. They could be individuals who have never performed on stage or perhaps have only been involved in a small local theater production, but we will actively seek them out, and I believe that will be an exciting aspect of this process."
Parton has previously mentioned the possibility of a musical centered around her life in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as per her recent discussion with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has multiple career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, she shared her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
