Dolly Parton’s Broadway Dream: Why She Wants to Cast Lookalikes in a Musical About Her Life

  • by

Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you closely resemble Dolly Parton, regardless of which period of her career, she may consider selecting you to be part of a Broadway production that showcases her life story.

Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she shared with People magazine.

She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting 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 able to actively participate in it.

In that 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, instead of only considering those who have extensive experience in musical theater.

Parton reveals that she might personally lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they will conduct a wide search to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, Dolly during her earlier years, and an older Dolly.

"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover new talents. I believe this will also be an enjoyable experience for the audience," Parton explains. "You never know where these talents might be found. They could be individuals who have never stepped onto a stage before, or perhaps they have only performed in local theaters. Regardless, our search for them will undoubtedly be an exciting part of the process."

Dolly Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical based on her life before, in various interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to life by "late '25," as revealed in her recent conversation with People magazine.

Dolly Parton, the well-known country singer, has a number of career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, she expressed her desire to create her own television network in the near future.
