Dolly Parton is interested in holding a lookalike contest because she is looking for individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which era of her career they resemble. She is considering casting these lookalikes in a Broadway musical based on her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant goal of hers for a long time. She emphasizes that this is the one accomplishment she wants to ensure she achieves while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as 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 may lead a competition 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.
Parton explains that they will be conducting auditions and searching for talent in various ways. She believes that this process will be enjoyable for people as well. She mentions that the search for talent can lead to unexpected discoveries. The individuals they find may have never performed on stage before or may have only been involved in local theater productions. However, the search for talent is something that Parton finds exciting.
Dolly Parton has previously mentioned the possibility of a musical based on her life in various interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to fruition by the end of 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The renowned country singer has a few career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In an interview with Taste of Country in January, Parton mentioned her desire to establish her very own television network in the near future.
