The show will capture how she “dreamed, dared, stumbled and soared” through storytelling, according to the press release.
Signature hits featured include I Will Always Love You, Jolene, Coat of Many Colors and 9 to 5.
Director Bartlett Sher said the musical would reveal the life of a much-loved but enigmatic star.
“During our world premiere in Nashville, I was overwhelmed by the deep connection audiences have with Dolly.
You mention her name and people light up and share a time that she has inspired them and brought them joy,” he said.
“But despite all of that genuine love, Dolly has never really shared her story before.
She’s offered glimpses and peeks, but this musical allows her to reveal the unfiltered story in her own words.
As we prepare to come to Broadway, we’re thrilled to show that rhinestones were never her whole story.”
