Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
For a long time, the thought of going to Broadway and having my own show there has been a significant goal for me. It's something I really want to make sure I achieve while I'm still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make innovative choices, such as deciding to extend casting opportunities to individuals from various backgrounds, rather than solely focusing on those with extensive experience in musical theater.
