Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest because she is searching for someone who closely resembles her, regardless of the stage of her career. If you happen to resemble Dolly Parton, she may consider casting you in a Broadway musical based on her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton has recently shared with People that she is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical.
She expresses that going to Broadway and having her show there has been a significant goal for her for a long time. It is the one goal she wants to ensure she accomplishes while she is alive and able to be actively involved in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, rather than only considering those with extensive experience in musical theater.
According to Parton, she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct a wide-ranging search to discover actors for three different versions of the main character. These three versions would include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as the singer clarifies.
"We will be conducting auditions and seeking out talent through various methods. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the people involved," adds Parton. "You never know where you might discover these talented individuals. They could be completely new to performing, or perhaps they have had experience in local theater. Our search for these individuals will undoubtedly add to the excitement."
Dolly Parton has mentioned the idea of creating a musical based on her life in previous interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready for production by the end of 2025, as revealed in her recent discussion with People magazine.
Dolly Parton, the famous country singer, has multiple career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton expressed her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
