Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. She is searching for individuals who strongly resemble her, regardless of the stage of her career they resemble. If you fit this description, there is a chance that she may consider casting you in a Broadway show that portrays her life.
Indeed, Parton has disclosed to People that she is currently engaged in the process of transforming her life story into a musical.
She expresses that performing on 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 wants to ensure that she accomplishes it while she is still alive and able to actively participate in it.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to audition for the role of Dolly, rather than only considering candidates with extensive experience in musical theater.
Parton suggests that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," which would involve searching for talented individuals to portray three different versions of the main character. These versions would include a younger Dolly, Dolly during her earlier years, and an older Dolly.
Parton explains that they will be conducting auditions and employing various methods to discover talented individuals. This process is expected to be enjoyable for people as well. Parton emphasizes the element of surprise in finding these individuals, as they could come from various backgrounds, including those who have never performed on a stage or have only been involved in local theater. The search for these talents is seen as a thrilling and enjoyable aspect of the overall experience.
Parton has mentioned the possibility of a musical about her life on multiple occasions in previous interviews. She recently expressed her desire to see the show come to life by late 2025, as mentioned in her recent conversation with People magazine.
The country legend has several career dreams that she is currently striving to achieve. In a previous interview with Taste of Country, Parton expressed her desire to create her own television network in the near future.
