Dolly Parton’s new stage production, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” is set for a Broadway run in New York, with previews starting in December. Multiple outlets report that preview performances begin on December 7 at the St. James Theatre. The musical, which is billed as covering Parton’s life and featuring both new music and classic hits, is scheduled to have its official opening on January 19, 2027—coinciding with Parton’s 81st birthday. The announcement is attributed to Parton and the show’s producers. Coverage also notes that the musical follows a prior run in Nashville before moving to Broadway. Parton is described across sources as framing the project as a personal milestone, referring to it as “a dream come true.” While details such as the exact start time of previews are not uniform across articles, the shared timeline—December 7 for previews and January 19 for the official opening—and the St. James Theatre venue are consistent.
