Dolly Parton has expressed her interest in organizing a contest to find individuals who closely resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. The reason behind this is that she is considering casting them in a Broadway musical that tells the story of her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton is currently working on turning 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 always been a significant goal of hers. It's something she has been thinking about for a long time. She wants to ensure that she accomplishes this goal while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make imaginative choices, such as the unconventional decision to invite individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly. This includes not only those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton reveals that she could potentially oversee a competition called "Finding Dolly" where a wide-ranging talent search will take place to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These variations include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as stated by the singer.
"We will be holding auditions and searching for talent through various methods. I believe this will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton adds. "You never know where you might discover these individuals. They could be completely new to the stage or perhaps have performed in a small local theater. Our search for them will definitely be a fun aspect, I believe."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical inspired by her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as stated in her recent conversation with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, a famous country singer, has shared her aspiration of achieving multiple career dreams. Along with her desire to launch her own television network in the near future, she continues to work towards making other dreams come true.
