Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to closely resemble Dolly Parton, regardless of the time period in her career, she might consider casting you in a Broadway production that tells the story of her life.
Indeed, Parton is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical, as she disclosed to People.
She expresses that one of her long-standing aspirations has always been to go to Broadway and have her own show. It is a significant goal that she has been determined to achieve for a considerable amount of time. She emphasizes that making this dream a reality is of utmost importance to her, especially while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, which includes the unconventional decision of allowing individuals from various backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, regardless of their previous experience in musical theater.
Parton mentions that she might oversee a contest called "Finding Dolly," where they will search for talented individuals to play three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly during her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and utilizing various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will be enjoyable for everyone," Parton explains. "The exciting part is that you never know where we might discover these individuals. They could be completely new to performing or might have had some experience in local theaters. Our search for them will add to the excitement and enjoyment, I believe."
Parton has mentioned the concept of a musical based on her life before, mentioning it sporadically in interviews. She expressed her desire to have the show ready by "late '25," as per her recent discussion with People magazine.
The famous country singer has a few career aspirations that she is currently pursuing. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton mentioned her desire to establish her own television network in the near future.
