What’s Next for Dolly Parton?
Just when you thought Dolly couldn’t get any busier, she’s already diving into her next big project. In a recent interview with USA Today, she revealed, “I’m doing my life story as a Broadway musical. I’ve written the music and am recording it now.

It seems Dolly has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, she’s already collaborating with other artists, including country star Zach Williams, and hinting at potential rock collaborations in the future. As she puts it, “I don’t have any plans to record any other music, but I’m doing some songs for several country artists. I did another song with Zach Williams and maybe I’ll get to work with some rockers and do some rock songs on their albums.”

Her timeless appeal is a testament to her incredible talent and enduring charm. As she continues to innovate and create, it’s clear that she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

“I always believed that if you wanted your dreams to come true and you are lucky enough to have that happen, then you’ve got to be responsible because you got to keep the dream alive — and every dream kind of spawns another dream,” Dolly shared during a July 13 interview with Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio. “You can branch off of almost anything that happens and make a business out of that, as well. It’s kind of like a tree with good roots, and it’s got a lot of limbs, and it’s also got a lot of leaves, so why not make the most of it?”
