Dolly Parton is interested in hosting a contest for people who closely resemble her, regardless of which stage of her career they resemble. If you have a strong resemblance to her, you might have the opportunity to be cast in a Broadway musical that tells the story of her life.
Yes, it is true. Parton has disclosed to People that she is currently working on transforming her life story into a musical.
She expresses that going to Broadway and debuting her own show there has always been a significant goal for her. It is something she has desired for a long time and she wants to ensure that she accomplishes it while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
In this manner, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to broaden the casting process for Dollys to individuals from various backgrounds, rather than solely considering those with extensive musical theater experience.
According to Parton, she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they would conduct an extensive search to find actors for three different versions of the main character. These versions include a young Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
"We will be conducting auditions and utilizing various methods to discover these individuals. I believe it will also be enjoyable for the audience," says Parton. "You never know where we might come across them. They could be completely new to performing, or maybe they have had some experience in a small community theater. But our search for them will be an exciting aspect, in my opinion."
Parton has previously mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life in various interviews. According to her recent discussion with People, the singer aims to have the show produced by the end of 2025.
The country legend has multiple career dreams that she is currently striving to achieve. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton expressed her desire to eventually establish her own television network.
