Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you resemble Dolly Parton, whether it's from any period of her successful career, she might consider casting you in a Broadway show that depicts her life.
Yes, it is true: Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
For a long time, it has been a significant goal of mine to perform on Broadway and have my show debut there. It is something that I am determined to accomplish while I am still alive and able to be actively involved in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, without necessarily having extensive experience in musical theater.
According to Parton, she is considering leading a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they will conduct an extensive search to find actors to play three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, an earlier stage of Dolly's life, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton explains. "You never know where these individuals may be found. They might not have any prior experience performing on stage, or perhaps they have been involved in local theater. However, we will actively search for them, and I believe this will add to the enjoyment of the search."
Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical about her life before, casually mentioning it in interviews. She expressed her desire for the show to be ready by "late '25," as stated in her recent interview with People magazine.
The famous country singer has multiple career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In an interview with Taste of Country in January, Parton expressed her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
