Dolly Parton has expressed her desire to host a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to closely resemble Dolly Parton, whether it's from any point in her career, she might consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway production that tells the story of her life.
Indeed, Parton has recently disclosed to People that she is currently involved in the process of transforming her life story into a musical.
For a long time, she has had a strong desire to go to Broadway and have her own show there. It is a significant goal that she has been thinking about for many years. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this goal while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their prior experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a competition called "Discovering Dolly," where they would conduct a widespread talent search to find actors for three distinct versions of the character. These versions would include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from earlier years, and an older Dolly, as described by the singer.
Parton explains that they will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover talented individuals. Parton believes that this search process will also be enjoyable for people. The search for these individuals will be unpredictable, as they may have never performed on stage before or may have only been involved in local theater productions. Nonetheless, Parton emphasizes that finding these individuals will be an exciting and enjoyable aspect of the process.
Dolly Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical based on her life in previous interviews. She recently shared her desire to have the show ready for production by the end of 2025, as stated in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The country icon has multiple career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton expressed her desire to establish her own TV network in the near future.
