Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to look remarkably similar to Dolly Parton, regardless of which phase of her career, she might consider selecting you to star in a Broadway production that tells the story of her life.
It is true, Parton is currently engaged in the process of 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 been a significant goal she has been aiming for over a long period of time. She emphasizes that this 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 opportunity to make artistic choices, which includes the unconventional decision to allow individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, instead of limiting it to those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton reveals that she may take charge of a competition called "Finding Dolly," where a wide-ranging talent hunt will be conducted to find actors for three distinct versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as described by the singer.
"We will be conducting auditions and using various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for people," Parton states. "It's exciting because you never know where we might find these individuals. They might have never performed on a stage before, or perhaps they have participated in local theater productions. Nonetheless, we are determined to seek out these talents, and that aspect will add to the fun, I believe."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by the end of 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has multiple career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. One of her goals is to create her own television network, as she expressed in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She is determined to make this dream a reality in the near future.
