Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to have a strong resemblance to Dolly Parton, whether it's from any period of her successful career, she might consider selecting you to star 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 shared with People magazine.
She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has been a significant goal in her thoughts for a long time. She emphasizes that it is the one thing she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In that manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to expand the casting process to individuals from diverse backgrounds, rather than exclusively considering those with extensive musical theater backgrounds.
Parton mentioned that she could potentially be leading a competition called "Finding Dolly," which aims to search for talented individuals to portray three distinct versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, Dolly during her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and exploring various avenues to discover new talents," remarks Parton. "I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience. It's exciting because you never know where you might stumble upon these individuals. They could be completely new to the stage or have previously performed in a local theater. Our search for these talents will undoubtedly add an element of fun to the entire experience."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, mentioning it in a few interviews. She expressed her desire to see the show come together by around the year 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The iconic country singer has a number of career goals that she is actively pursuing. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton disclosed her desire to establish her own TV network in the near future.
