Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is in search of individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which phase of her career they resemble, as she has a potential opportunity for them. The opportunity involves casting these lookalikes in a Broadway musical that will depict her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on transforming 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 that she has been thinking about for a long time. She emphasizes that this is the one goal she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is 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 extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton has expressed her interest in potentially leading a contest called "Finding Dolly," which aims to discover talented individuals for three distinct versions of the main character. These versions include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as clarified by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and searching for these 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 individuals who 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 will contribute to the excitement, I believe."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life on previous occasions. In a recent interview with People, the singer expressed her desire to see the show on stage by the end of 2025.
The famous country singer has a few career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton shared her desire to create her own television network in the near future.
