Dolly Parton Musical Producers Rebuke Theatergoers For Disrupting Shows By Hurling “Abhorrent” Homophobic Abuse At Cast


Stevie Webb, star of Dolly Parton musical 'Here You Come Again,' said a theatergoer halted a performance in Manchester by hurling homophobic abuse.

The intervention comes after Stevie Webb, one of the stars of Here You Come Again, posted a TikTok video chronicling incidents of abuse the cast had endured on the road. Here You Come Again was originally written for U.S. audiences by two-time Emmy-winner Bruce Vilanch with Gabriel Barre (who also directs) and Tricia Paoluccio (who also plays Dolly). The homophobic incidents come as a new bio-musical about Parton, titled Hello, I’m Dolly, is prepping for a bow on Broadway in 2026, with the country legend writing the music, co-writing the book, and serving as a producer.
