During their conversation about the nationwide auditions for the musical, Jenna Bush Hager humorously sought a role by asking, “Dolly, could I have a minor part, please? Just a tiny one!” Her fellow host, Hoda Kotb, joined in on the fun, teasing that Jenna was only hoping to be an unnoticeable extra, sipping coffee at the back.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I jumped at the opportunity to audition for a role in the production, and what better way to showcase my excitement than by covering Dolly Parton’s iconic song “Jolene”? With a fun, curly bleach-blonde wig to complete the look, I laughed and said, “Given the short notice, it was the best we could put together!” Though my vocal performance was playful, it certainly showcased my eagerness to be part of this fantastic project.

As a diehard Dolly Parton fan, I’m absolutely thrilled about her upcoming original musical! Titled “Dolly: An Original Musical” (formerly “Hello, I’m Dolly”), this masterpiece will delve into the legendary singer’s life and career, offering a unique glimpse into her extraordinary journey.

78-year-old Parton announced on her social media recently that she’s holding open auditions for a chance to join her in bringing her tale to Broadway, with the possibility of playing her character!
