Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is looking for individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of the era in which she was famous, as she may consider casting them in a Broadway musical based on her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
The person states that one of their long-held aspirations is to perform on Broadway and have their own show there. They emphasize that achieving this goal is of utmost importance to them and they want to ensure it happens while they are still alive and actively involved in the production.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make creative choices, which includes the unconventional decision to allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of whether they have extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she may take charge of a competition called "Finding Dolly," which aims to discover new talent to play three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly. The singer elaborates on the various stages of Dolly's life that will be portrayed.
"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover them. I believe this will also be enjoyable for people," Parton adds. "You never know where you might come across them. They could be individuals who have never performed on stage or perhaps they have only been involved in community theater. However, our goal is to search for them, and I think that process will contribute to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical based on her life before, although not for the first time. She has mentioned it in a few interviews here and there. The singer expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as per her recent conversation with People magazine.
Country music icon Dolly Parton has a number of career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. One of her dreams is to establish her own television network, as she mentioned in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She is determined to make this ambition a reality in the near future.
