Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to closely resemble Dolly Parton, whether it's from any period of her successful career, she might consider selecting you to play her in a Broadway musical that depicts her life story.
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 having her own show there has always been a significant goal for her. It is something she has wanted to accomplish for a long time and she is determined to make sure it happens while she is still alive and able to be actively involved in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow people from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, rather than only considering those with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she could potentially lead a contest called "Finding Dolly," where they would search for talented individuals to play three versions of the main character. These versions would include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be holding auditions and exploring various avenues to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton states. "It is exciting because you never know where you will come across these individuals. They may have never had the opportunity to perform on stage before or could have participated in local theater productions. However, we are determined to seek them out, and I believe this aspect will add to the enjoyment of the process."
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life before, mentioning it in various interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by the end of 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The country music icon has multiple career aspirations that she is currently striving to achieve. In an interview with Taste of Country last January, Parton mentioned her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
