Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest for people who look similar to her. If you resemble Dolly Parton, whether it be from any point in her career, she may consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical that tells her life story.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she shared with People.
"For a long time, I have had a major goal of going to Broadway and presenting my own show there," she expresses. "That is the one achievement that I am determined to accomplish while I am alive and able to actively participate in it."
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make innovative choices, such as the unconventional decision to expand the casting process for potential Dollys to individuals from various backgrounds, not solely limited to those with extensive musical theater background.
Parton is considering the possibility of leading a contest called "Finding Dolly," where she plans to conduct a wide talent search to find actors for three distinct versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly. Parton shared her intentions for this contest.
"We will be holding auditions and searching for talented individuals using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton adds. "You never know where you might discover them. They could be newcomers to the stage or have experience in a local theater, but our search will be an exciting part of the journey, I believe."
Dolly Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before. In a recent interview with People, she expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25".
Dolly Parton, the iconic country singer, has many career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. One of her dreams is to establish her own television network, as she shared with Taste of Country in January. She is determined to make this dream a reality in the near future.
