Dolly Parton’s bio-musical, Dolly: A True Original Musical, is coming to Broadway! But that’s not even the best part. The show’s Broadway opening night is also the icon’s 81st birthday.
The musical, which is based on the legend’s life, features some of her top hits (‘I Will Always Love You,’ ‘Jolene,’ ‘Coat of Many Colors,’ and ‘9 to 5’) as well as new tunes written by Parton.
In a pre-recorded video statement, Parton tells fans, “I have some big news that I’m so excited to share. I can officially announce that Dolly: A True Original Musical is coming to Broadway and you're invited.”
She continues, giving us a glimpse of what to expect, “Just like the title says, I mean true in every sense of the word. Now this isn’t about a story about sparkle and shine on the outside. It’s about where I really come from. What I’ve lived. What I’ve lost. What I’ve loved. And how I found my way and told it in my own words and through the music that’s been part of me every step of the journey…This really is a dream come true.”
Broadway previews at the St. James Theatre in New York City start this December. Opening night (and Dolly’s birthday) is January 19.2027.
