Not to be confused with “Hello Dolly,” there’s a musical earmarked for Broadway by the name of “Hello, I’m Dolly,” with country-pop superstar Dolly Parton spearheading the effort to bring a show based on her life and career to the stage. But don’t get set on saying hello too soon — it’s being aimed at a 2026 opening.
Parton’s score for the show is being described as a mixture of newly written songs and “all your favorites.” The singer is co-writing the book for the autobiographical production with Maria S. Schlatter, who previously co-wrote the 2020 Netflix movie “Christmas on the Square” with Parton.
Producers for the planned production are Parton, Adam Speers for ATG Productions and Danny Nozell for CTK Enterprises. ATG currently has the hit “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” running on Broadway and recently produced a revival of “Sunset Boulevard” with Nicole Scherzinger. CTK is a Nashville-based management company, led by Nozell, that has Parton as its most famous client.
