Dolly Parton is bringing her life to Broadway in the upcoming show Dolly: An Original Musical and she just announced the world premiere production! The legendary country singer-songwriter took to the stage of the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Belmont University to announce the news on Tuesday morning (January 28) in Nashville, Tenn. The musical will debut on Broadway in 2026, but it’ll have its first production in Nashville in summer 2025. Dolly said, “I am Tennessee born and raised, and Nashville has been my musical home for over 60 years. So, this is the right and perfect place to present the world premiere of my life story as a musical. Right here in Nashville, at the beautiful Belmont University’s Fisher Center.” Dolly: An Original Musical “takes us on a journey through the life of this rhinestone in the rough, from her barefoot beginnings in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee to performing in platform heels under the bright lights of Hollywood.” The musical will feature her hits like “I Will Always Love You,” “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “9 to 5,” as well as new songs written by Dolly. The musical will play a four-week limited engagement from July 18 through August 17. Tickets are on sale now!
