Dolly Parton, the iconic singer-songwriter, is set to bring her remarkable life story to Broadway through a new musical titled “Dolly: A True Original Musical.” The production, featuring a blend of new songs crafted for the show and some of Parton’s classic hits like “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene,” will debut in New York City on Dec. 7 this year, with performances scheduled until Nov. 21, 2027.

Parton, aged 80 and with a career spanning nearly seven decades, expressed her excitement for this project, emphasizing that it delves into her genuine experiences, struggles, and triumphs rather than just the glitz and glamour. The musical aims to offer an authentic portrayal of her journey, showcasing the essence of her life through music.

The show, which premiered in Nashville last summer to a sold-out audience at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, received overwhelming support from fans. Director Bartlett Sher highlighted the profound impact Dolly Parton has had on people’s lives, with audiences connecting deeply to her inspirational presence and joyful spirit.

Parton’s musical is more than a dazzling display of rhinestones; it is a heartfelt narrative of resilience, love, and self-discovery. Through this production, Parton aims to share her untold story in a raw and unfiltered manner, revealing the depth of her experiences and the path that led her to success.

Tickets for “Dolly: A True Original Musical” will be available for purchase starting Friday, July 10, offering audiences a chance to witness the captivating tale of one of music’s most enduring legends.
