Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to resemble Dolly Parton, whether it is from any point in her career, she might consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical that portrays her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
She expresses that the idea of going to Broadway and having her own show there has always been a significant goal for her. She emphasizes that this is the one achievement she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is still alive and able to be actively involved in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to invite individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly. This includes considering candidates who may not necessarily have extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton reveals that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," which aims to find three different versions of the main character. The search will include casting for a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be holding auditions and searching for talented individuals using various methods. I believe this will be an enjoyable experience for everyone," Parton adds. "It's exciting because you never know where we might discover these individuals. They could be completely new to performing or have only been involved in local theater, but our search will be an exciting and enjoyable part of the process."
This is not the first occasion where Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical centered around her life. She has briefly mentioned it in a few interviews. Parton expressed her desire to see the show produced by "late '25," as per her recent discussion with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has a few career aspirations that she is currently pursuing. One of her dreams is to establish her own television network, as she mentioned in an interview with Taste of Country last January. She is determined to make this dream a reality in the near future.
