“We were talking about doing my Broadway musical and we were really, really far out ahead of that, and then Covid hit and that changed my mind about a whole lot of things,” Parton said in a recent appearance on “Mr. Nashville Talks.” “I do intend someday to be on Broadway, but I’m thinking now that I might do my life story as a feature,” she said. “Maybe possibly even a musical feature, so we’re in talks about that.” The legendary singer has some thoughts about who could play her. “I love Kristin Chenoweth,” Parton said. “She’s just absolutely fantastic.” There may also be opportunities for other actresses, Parton said. “We’d probably have to have as long as my career has been like a little Dolly and a middle Dolly and then the older one,” she said. Parton is currently promoting her first novel, “Run, Rose, Run,” written by author James Patterson. M Faizan Riasat April 7, 2022
