Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to closely resemble Dolly Parton, regardless of the period in her career, she might consider selecting you for a Broadway musical that focuses on her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People magazine.
She expresses that performing on Broadway and debuting her own show there has been a significant goal she has cherished for a long time. She emphasizes that this is the one achievement 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 exercise her creativity by making unconventional choices, such as allowing individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their prior experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she could potentially lead a contest called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct a wide search for talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, Dolly in her earlier years, and an older version of Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and utilizing various methods to discover these individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton explains. "It is unpredictable where we might come across these talents. They could be completely new to performing or perhaps have only been involved in small local theater productions. However, our search for these hidden gems will definitely add an element of fun to the whole experience."
Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical based on her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show produced by the end of 2025, as stated in her recent discussion with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has many career aspirations that she is actively pursuing. One of her ongoing dreams is to establish her own television network, as she disclosed in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She remains hopeful that this dream will come true in the near future.
