Dolly Parton has expressed her desire to organize a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is interested in finding individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of the period in her career, as she is considering casting them in a Broadway production 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 clarifies that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant aspiration for her. It is the one goal she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the freedom to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to consider Dollys from various backgrounds, rather than solely focusing on individuals with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could possibly lead a competition called "Discovering Dolly," where a wide-ranging talent search will take place to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an elderly Dolly, as clarified by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various methods to discover these individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton states. "You never know where these talented individuals may be found. They could be individuals who have never stepped foot on a stage or perhaps they have performed in a small local theater. However, we will actively search for them, and I believe this aspect will add to the excitement."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, casually bringing it up in various interviews. In her most recent discussion with People, the singer expressed her desire to see the show come together by the end of 2025.
The famous country singer has several career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton mentioned her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
