Internet Freaks Out Over Dolly Audition

December 12, 2024 8:30 am Published by

A nationwide search is underway for someone to play Dolly Parton in a musical about her life.

The show will be called “Dolly: An Original Musical” and will premiere on Broadway in 2026.

Dolly even encouraged people to post their audition videos online to show the world.

Currently, the internet is freaking out because they think they’ve found the perfect Dolly, and honestly, it might be one of the best impressions I’ve ever seen.

It’s even more impressive knowing she’s not even American.

Her name is Kelly O’Brien and she has Dolly’s accent, mannerisms, and laugh down to a science. So much so, that she’s made a career out of it in the U.K. She calls her act “The Dolly Show”.

Here are some of the best comments online: “The English accent straight to Dolly’s precious southern drawl. You’re a wizard!” . . . and “If you aren’t at the top of their list, then we all need to riot.”
