Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest to find individuals who closely resemble her. If you bear a strong resemblance to Dolly Parton, regardless of the time period in her career, she may consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical based on her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she recently disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that it has been a significant aspiration of hers for a long time to perform and debut her show on Broadway. Ensuring that she achieves this goal while she is alive and able to actively participate in it is of utmost importance to her.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, which includes the unconventional decision to open auditions for the role of Dolly to individuals from diverse backgrounds, rather than solely considering those with extensive musical theater background.
Parton mentions that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where she would search for talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. The three versions would include a young Dolly, Dolly during her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as described by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for them using various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton explains. "You never know where you might discover them. They might have never performed on stage before, or perhaps they have only been involved in local theater productions. However, we will actively seek them out, and that aspect will contribute to the excitement, in my opinion."
Dolly Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical based on her life before, in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as stated in her recent conversation with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has multiple career dreams that she is currently pursuing. One of these dreams is to create her own television network, as she mentioned in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She is hopeful that this dream will come true in the near future.
