Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest to find people who closely resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. If you win, she may consider casting you in a Broadway musical based on her life.
Yes, it is true: Parton is currently working on converting her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
For many years, she has had a strong desire to go to Broadway and debut her own show there. This has been a significant goal in her mind. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this goal while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unique decision to allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their previous experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct a wide-ranging search for talent to play three different versions of the main character. These versions would include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as the singer clarifies.
"We will be conducting auditions and using various methods to discover these individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton adds. "You never know where you will come across them. They could be individuals who have never performed on a stage before or perhaps have only been involved in local theater productions. However, we are determined to seek them out, and I believe this aspect will add to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before in various interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to life by "late '25" in a recent conversation with People.
Dolly Parton, the country music icon, has several career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton shared her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
