Dolly Parton Announces Plans for Broadway Musical Based on Her Life, ‘Hello, I’m Dolly’
Dolly Parton announced a Broadway musical based on her life, 'Hello, I'm Dolly,' set to include some newly written songs as well as jukebox favorites.
Parton announced plans for the show Thursday morning at CMA Fest in Nashville, making a speaking appearance on the opening day of the country festival as part of the daytime Fan Fair activities. Parton is no newcomer to Broadway, having previously written the score for a stage adaptation of the film “9 to 5” that opened at the Ahmanson in L.A. and earned her a Tony nomination in 2009 after making the move to New York. More recently, the all-original country musical “Shucked” opened last year to strong reviews, if a shorter-than-hoped run; that show is set for a national tour that begins this fall and extends through an engagement at L.A.’s Pantages in summer 2025.
