Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to resemble Dolly Parton, no matter which stage of her career, she might 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 disclosed to People.
Having the opportunity to perform on Broadway and debut my own show has always been a significant goal of mine for a long time. It is the one thing I am determined to accomplish while I am 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. This opens up the casting process beyond individuals with extensive musical theater experience.
Parton is considering the possibility of leading a contest called "Finding Dolly." The contest aims to find talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and using various methods to discover these individuals. I believe it will be enjoyable for others as well," Parton adds. "You never know where these individuals might be found. They could be completely new to performing on stage or perhaps have only participated in a local theater production. Nonetheless, we will actively search for them, and I believe this aspect will add to the excitement."
Parton has previously hinted at the possibility of a musical inspired by her life during various interviews. In her recent conversation with People, the singer expressed her desire to see the show produced by the end of 2025.
