Dolly Parton is a legend. An award winning singer, composer, musician, actress, author and frequently tops the polls of Gay Icon lists, 2007 saw Dolly piped to the post by Kylie in the Top 50 Greatest Gay Icons (OnePoll.com 3rd place Abba, 4th place Judy Garland).
This show celebrates the music that made her the world icon she is today, as the 2009 tour kicks up the dust.
The two hour show, featuring a full cast of singers, dancers and superb musicians, celebrates the career of award winning legend, Dolly Parton.
Led by acclaimed country singer Jeanne Jordan, who was introduced to country music by the famous Gibb brothers (Bee Gees) whilst living in Los Angeles, the show takes you on a musical journey through Dolly’s early days to her arena concerts of today.
Joining Jeanne in the spotlight is 29 year-old Emily Clark, who will portray Dolly through her younger years. Emily has previously toured with a number of hit UK theatre shows and is sure to impress with her vocal talent and charisma – not to mention her Dolly-like assets!
With stunning costume changes adding to the glamour of the show, Dolly would be proud! Dolly once commented ‘If I had been born a man, I would have had to be a drag queen!’
Packed with all of Dolly’s hits, such as; 9 to 5, I Will Always Love You, Islands in the Stream, Jolene, Here You Come Again, Coat of Many Colors and many more, all performed on a great stage set, injected with fun and banter, this is one show you can’t afford to miss!
