I think I may be in the minority on here but I absolutely loved Dolly's score for 9 to 5 and truthfully, I think it's the best thing she's done in the last 20 years. I'm not typically a fan of these Hallmark-esque Christmas movies but nice to see Dolly doing another original score! Wasn't she mean't to be working on her life story for Broadway, too?

That sounds familiar. I know last year she workshopped a new musical called “A Smoky Mountain Christmas” in Boston. I wonder if the two projects (Smoky Mountain Christmas and the Netflix Christmas musical) share any songs?

I’m not a big Dolly fan. But I won’t mind trying something new.
