From Variety:
Parton’s score for the show is being described as a mixture of newly written songs and “all your favorites.” The singer is co-writing the book for the autobiographical production with Maria S. Schlatter, who previously co-wrote the 2020 Netflix movie “Christmas on the Square” with Parton.
Producers for the planned production are Parton, Adam Speers for ATG Productions and Danny Nozell for CTK Enterprises.
ATG currently has the hit “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” running on Broadway and recently produced a revival of “Sunset Boulevard” with Nicole Scherzinger.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer previously earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for her score for the Broadway stage adaptation of her hit film “9 to 5.”
