Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest to find individuals who strongly resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. She is considering casting these individuals in a Broadway musical that tells the story of her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical, as she recently disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that it has always been a significant goal of hers to perform on Broadway and have her own show there for a long time. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this goal while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By doing this, 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, rather than limiting it to only those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," which aims to discover talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, an earlier stage of Dolly's life, and an older Dolly.
According to Parton, we will be holding auditions and using various methods to discover these individuals. Parton believes that this process will also be enjoyable for the audience. It is unpredictable where we will find these individuals. They might have never performed on stage before, or perhaps they have been involved in local theater. Nonetheless, we will actively search for them, and this search will be an exciting part of the process.
Parton has previously hinted at the possibility of a musical about her life during various interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come to fruition by "late '25," as mentioned in her recent discussion with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has expressed her desire to fulfill a few career aspirations. One of these dreams is to establish her own television network, as she revealed in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She is actively working towards making this dream a reality in the near future.
