Dolly Parton is interested in organizing a lookalike contest for a specific reason. If you happen to look very similar to Dolly Parton, regardless of which stage of her career, she might consider selecting you to be a part of a Broadway musical centered around her life.
Indeed, Parton has recently disclosed to People that she is currently involved in the process of transforming her life story into a musical.
She expresses her long-standing desire to go to Broadway and debut her own show there. This has been a significant goal for her for a considerable amount of time. She strongly emphasizes that making this happen is crucial to her and she wants to ensure it is accomplished while she is still alive and actively engaged in the process.
By doing so, she will have the opportunity to make artistic choices, such as the unconventional decision to allow anyone, regardless of their background in musical theater, to audition for the role of Dolly.
Parton mentioned that she could potentially lead a competition called "Finding Dolly," where they would search for talented individuals to play three distinct versions of the main character. The three versions would include a younger Dolly, a Dolly from her earlier years, and an older Dolly, as clarified by the singer.
"We will be holding auditions and utilizing various methods to discover talented individuals. I believe this process will also be enjoyable for the audience," Parton explains. "The search for these individuals will be unpredictable. They could be individuals who have never stepped foot on a stage before or perhaps have only performed in local theaters. Nonetheless, we will actively seek them out, and I believe this aspect will add excitement to the experience."
Dolly Parton has mentioned the idea of a musical based on her life before, but this time she seems more serious about it. In a recent interview, she expressed her desire to have the show ready by late 2025.
Dolly Parton, a famous country singer, has several career dreams that she is currently pursuing. One of her aspirations is to create her own television network, as she mentioned in an interview with Taste of Country in January. She is determined to make this dream a reality in the near future.
