We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Miss Dolly Parton is always up to something.
Dolly is currently working on adapting her like into a musical!
“Going on Broadway and opening my show on Broadway, that’s been a biggie [goal] in my mind for many, many years,” she explains. “That’d be the one I want to make certain I get done while I’m still kicking, while I’m around to stay involved in it.”
Dolly says she hopes to be right in the middle of it all, planning it out.
She hopes to open up a broad talent search to cast three different iterations of the title character.
Those will be “little Dolly,” “earlier years Dolly,” and “an older Dolly.”
“We’re going to be auditioning them and trying to find them through different means. I think that’ll be fun for people, too,” Parton continues. “You never know where you’re going to find them. They may never have been on stage before, or maybe in some local theater somewhere, but we’re going to look for them and that’s going to be part of the fun, I think.”
Dolly hopes the show will be mounted by late 2025.
Last January, Parton revealed to Taste of Country that she’s also hoping to launch her own television network one day soon.
