Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. This is because she is considering the possibility of casting them in a Broadway musical that tells the story of her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
She describes that her ultimate goal has always been to perform and debut her show on Broadway. This has been a significant aspiration for her for a long time. She emphasizes that achieving this goal is of utmost importance to her while she is alive and able to actively participate in the Broadway production.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to extend the casting process to individuals from diverse backgrounds, rather than limiting it to those with extensive musical theater background.
Parton mentions that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct a wide search to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, Dolly in her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as clarified by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will be enjoyable for everyone," Parton explains. "It is unpredictable where we will come across these individuals. They might not have had any prior experience on stage or may have only performed in local theaters. Nevertheless, we will actively search for them, and I believe this aspect will add to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical based on her life before, briefly discussing it in interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as she mentioned in a recent conversation with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the renowned country singer, has a number of career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton disclosed her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
