Dolly Parton’s Broadway Dream: Why She Wants a Lookalike Contest for Her Life Musical

  • by

Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to strongly resemble Dolly Parton, regardless of which era of her career, she may consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical that tells the story of her life.

Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she recently disclosed to People magazine.

She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant goal for her. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.

In this way, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their level of experience in musical theater.

Parton suggests that she may even lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where a wide search for talented individuals will be conducted to cast three versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as described by the singer.

According to Parton, the process of finding and auditioning individuals will be an enjoyable experience for both the participants and the audience. She believes that it will be exciting because the search will involve exploring various avenues to discover talented individuals. These individuals could be ordinary people who have never performed on stage or may have only been involved in local theater productions. Regardless, Parton is enthusiastic about searching for these individuals and believes it will add an element of fun to the process.

Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire for the show to be produced by "late '25," as stated in her recent conversation with People.

The country music icon has multiple career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In a recent interview with Taste of Country, Parton disclosed her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
