It’s been a banner year for Dolly Parton. At a time when most performers would be sitting on their back porches enjoying their twilight years, Dolly is working harder than musicians a third her age. Just when you think she’d take a breather in the wake of the release of her album “Rockstar,” Dolly told “USA Today” recently she’s still got work to do.
She was asked if she had anything coming up on the horizon, and of course, Dolly did. “I’m tackling one right now. I’m doing my life story as a Broadway musical. I’ve written the music and am recording it now.” And as for when fans can expect to see Dolly’s musical on the stage, Dolly added, “We’re hoping to have it onstage in 2025. I’ve been working on it forever. It’s not a jukebox musical, it’s a true story. It’s a big production and a lot of original songs. Of course it will have the hit songs and the stories leading up to those things. I had at one time planned to do a biopic but then everybody was doing one so I thought nah, I’m going Broadway. So I’m hoping we make it.” Much like everything else Dolly touches, we expect her Broadway musical to be a smash.
