Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest to find individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of the era in her career. If you resemble the country legend, she might consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical based on her life.
Indeed, Parton is presently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
The idea of performing on Broadway and debuting my own show there has always been a significant goal for me. It's something I have aspired to achieve for a long time. Ensuring that I accomplish this goal while I am alive and able to actively participate in it is of utmost importance to me.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, including the unconventional decision to allow casting for the role of Dolly from a diverse range of individuals, regardless of their prior experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she might lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where she will conduct an extensive search to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for talented individuals using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," adds Parton. "You never know where you may discover them. They might not have any prior experience on stage or may have only performed in a small local theater. However, we will actively seek them out, and I believe that aspect will add to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical based on her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by the end of 2025, as per her recent discussion with People.
