Dolly: A True Original Musical will begin Broadway previews at New York's St. James Theatre on December 7, with its official opening on January 19, 2027—Dolly Parton's 81st birthday. The musical tells Parton's life story through her own words and songs, featuring classics like "Jolene," "9 to 5," "Coat of Many Colors," and "I Will Always Love You." After a successful world premiere in Nashville, the production has been refined for Broadway. Parton co-wrote the show's book and says she's excited to finally share her story on the Broadway stage.
