MJ has three Michaels. Myles Frost and Stephanie J. Block won Tony Awards in shows with this structure.
Dolly's early childhood was very successfully dramatized in two NBC TV movies, but it's hard to see that being done on stage. Perhaps her earlier career and relationship with Porter Wagner would musicalize well, but it's hard to see running a theme park as fodder for a Broadway musical.
Tina used one actor (with a brief appearance of a child actor) to cover Turner's entire life, and even that was a poorly told story held up only by Adrienne Warren's stunning performance. Covering an entire life as rich as Dolly's seems a tall order to transform into a compelling story in one show.

A friend's voice teacher said that callbacks have already started going out for some of the Dolly parts, so it does sound like things are still fluid
Oh boy, do I miss The Cher Show
