Dolly Parton wants Kristin Chenoweth to play her in a biopic or Broadway show
The country music legend wants to bring her story to the screen or Broadway
Dolly Parton has expressed interest in Kristin Chenoweth playing the country music superstar in a biopic or Broadway musical.
Parton appeared on Mr. Nashville Talks to promote her new book (she co-authored with James Patterson) and album, Run Rose Run, and the conversation turned to a potential biopic or stage play chronicling the singer, songwriter, and philanthropist’s life and decades-long career.
“I’ve been talking about doing my Broadway musical and we were really, really way out ahead of that, and then COVID hit and that changed my mind about a whole lot of things,” Parton told Ferguson. “I do intend someday to be on Broadway, but I’m thinking now that I might do my life story as a feature… Maybe possibly even a musical feature, so we’re in talks about that.”
