Dolly Parton shared insight into her plans to turn her life\u2019s story into a Broadway musical.<\/p>\n
The production is called, Hello, I\u2019m Dolly, and it will eventually make it to the Broadway stage sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n
Parton is co-writing the new musical with Maria S. Schlatter, who previously worked with the singer on the 2020 Netflix movie, Christmas on the Square.<\/p>\n
Hello, I\u2019m Dolly will feature classic songs from Parton\u2019s legendary career, as well as new material that Dolly is writing specifically for the show.<\/p>\n
Parton shared this statement about her forthcoming musical:<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, I\u2019m Dolly, and I lived my whole life to see this show on stage. I\u2019ve written many original songs for the show and included all your favorites in it as well. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry, you\u2019ll clap, you\u2019ll stomp; it truly is a Grand Ol\u2019 Opera. Pun and fun intended. Don\u2019t miss it!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
