Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to look very similar to Dolly Parton, whether it's from any point in her career, she might consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical based on her life.
Indeed, Parton has confirmed that she is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
She expresses that one of her long-standing goals has been to go to Broadway and debut her own show there. She considers it to be a significant achievement that she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is still active and able to be fully engaged in the process.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly. This includes not only those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a contest called "Finding Dolly," where a wide talent search will be conducted to find actors for 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 searching for them using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton expresses. "You never know where we might discover them. They could have never been on a stage before, or perhaps only performed in a small local theater. However, we will actively seek them out, and I believe this search will add to the excitement."
Parton has previously mentioned the possibility of a musical centered around her life in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready for production by the end of 2025, as per her recent discussion with People magazine.
