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

  • by

Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest to find individuals who resemble her. If you have a strong resemblance to Dolly Parton, regardless of which period of her career, she may consider selecting you to be part of a Broadway musical based on 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 performing on Broadway and debuting her own show has always been a significant goal that she has been focused on for a long time. She emphasizes that this is the one achievement she is determined to accomplish while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.

In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, which includes the unconventional decision to allow individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their prior experience in musical theater.

Parton suggests that she could possibly lead a "Discovering Dolly" competition, which would involve a wide-ranging search for talented individuals to play three distinct versions of the main character. These versions would include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from earlier years, and an older Dolly, as described by the singer.

"We will be conducting auditions and searching for them using various methods. I believe this will also be enjoyable for people," Parton adds. "You never know where you might discover them. They could be individuals who have never performed on stage before or maybe they have only been involved in local theater, but we will actively search for them and that will add to the excitement, in my opinion."

Parton has mentioned the concept of a musical based on her life multiple times in past interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to life by the end of 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.

Dolly Parton, the renowned country singer, has several career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. One of her ambitions is to establish her own television network, as she disclosed to Taste of Country in January last year.
