DOLLY: A TRUE ORIGINAL MUSICAL begins on Broadway in December 2026 — Page 3

Three of the shows listed above came out in the last ten years, so yes, quite a few in the last decade, but regardless, please elaborate on the idea that there is modern business trend that suggests shows struggle with winter openings as a rule?

Hilty and Chenoweth should not - and will not - get within a mile of this show.

The sign of real change would have been replacing Sher and/or adding a new bookwriter. But that’s clearly not happening, and Dolly must trust him.

The Broadway production is auditioning for these roles this month :

DOLLY PARTON (Female, 40s-50s) The country singer/songwriter superstar in the later stages of her career and serves as the narrator reflecting on her life. 

DOLLY (Female, 20s) The star in the early stages of her career on her journey to stardom. Ambitious, resilient, and full of heart, she is a dreamer with a quick wit and an infectious sense of humor. 

LITTLE DOLLY (Female, 10-12 years old) The precocious, imaginative, and fearless younger version of Dolly. 

PORTER WAGONER (Male, late 30s-40s) One of the most successful and beloved country music stars of his time -- and a mentor to Dolly. 

CARL DEAN (Male, late 30s-early 40s) Carl Dean is Dolly’s love interest and eventual husband. 

LITTLE JUDY OGLE (Female, 10-12 years old)
