Here You Come Again - The New Dolly Parton Musical

July 23 - 27, 2024

Dolly Parton's biggest hits in one hellauva musical!

Why See Here You Come Again - The New Dolly Parton Musical?

We will always love dolly.

The songs, humour and heart of Saint Dolly Parton herself form the basis of this exciting new musical, kicking its boots across the UK on this exciting new tour following a tryout at Manchester's Lowry Theatre. 

Created by double Emmy winner Bruce Vilanch with director Gabriel Barre and Tricia Paoluccio, and with a re-tooled book by Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie writer Jonathan Harvey, Here You Come Again is a true love letter to Parton that features a raft of her biggest and best hits (including '9-5','I Will Always Love You' and 'Jolene' among many more) to tell a touching and hilarious tale of one fan and how his enduring love for Dolly gets him through - something many of us can relate to!

So crack out the rhinestones and grab the push-up bras - cos this is one musical you won't want to miss!

UK Tour of Dolly Parton Musical HERE YOU COME AGAIN Extends; Steven Webb to Join the Cast

The tour now includes weeks in Cambridge, Malvern, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Bath, Blackpool and Liverpool.

Following the UK premiere of Here You Come Again in Leeds - where it runs from Saturday 11 May to Saturday 8 June - additional dates have been confirmed for the previously announced tour, which now includes weeks in Cambridge, Malvern, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Bath, Blackpool and Liverpool. West End star Steven Webb (Oliver!, Book of Mormon), will join the company as ‘Kevin', a 40-year-old, has-been-who-never-was comedian in the new musical, alongside previously announced star and co-writer Tricia Paoluccio , who will reprise her celebrated role as ‘Dolly' following US acclaim.

Steven Webb began his career 30 years ago as the titular character in Sam Mendes ' production of Oliver! (London Palladium). Since then, he has appeared in a wide range of film, television and theatre. He has just finished a long stint starring as Elder McKinley in the West End run of The Book of Mormon. Prior to that he was perhaps best known as Posner in the second casting of The History Boys. Other theatre credits include I Want My Hat Back, On the Shore of the Wide World (National Theatre), As Is (Trafalgar Studios) as well as many productions at The Lyric Hammersmith including seven shows in Sean Holmes ' creative ensemble Secret Theatre.

He also has many television credits, having previously played roles in the much beloved BBC series Miranda and E4's The Inbetweeners.

Steven Webb says: “I'm beyond excited to be bringing Kevin to life here in the UK. I grew up listening to Dolly and other country music as my dad was a big fan. Twenty years ago, I was in a similar state to Kevin. I was down, a relationship had come clattering to a halt and I felt aimless. Then Dolly Parton played one night at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. So, I grabbed a ticket and took myself down there. Just like Kevin, I was inspired, galvanised and uplifted by Dolly and her message of love and perseverance. It was practically life-changing. And that's why she means so much to so many people. It's no coincidence that the hashtag WhatWouldDollyDo became a life motto for so many. Getting to sing and hear her biggest hits (and watch Tricia embody Dolly) every night is going to be the greatest gift a show could ever give.”

For the first time ever, all of Dolly Parton 's biggest hits are brought together in a rollicking and joyful new musical, fully authorised by Dolly herself. Packed with iconic songs like Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose imagined version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times.

Kevin has just separated from his long-time boyfriend, Jeremy, an investment banker, and is in quarantine in the attic bedroom of his childhood home in Yorkshire. Surrounded by precious belongings from his youth, he is reunited with a much-loved old record player and his cherished Dolly albums. He remembers the hard times those songs helped him through in the past and counts on them to help him once again. With her wit, humour and charm, Dolly teaches him a whole lot about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps… even if your bootstraps don't have rhinestones!

Acclaimed British TV and theatre writer Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Coronation Street) provides additional material. Further casting to be announced.

Here You Come Again – The Dolly Parton Musical trailer

By Mayer Nissim

Dolly Parton's musical comedy is packed with hits from across her career.

Listen to this article

As well as being a queen of the airwaves and silver screen, Dolly Parton has already conquered the world of musical theatre.

The adaptation of her classic 1980 movie 9 to 5 stormed Broadway over a decade ago before winning over the West End, but we've long wanted a musical that takes in all of Dolly's very biggest songs.

• Dolly Parton and Lainey Wilson team up for gorgeous version of 'I Will Always Love You'
• Dolly Parton course launched by Open University
• Listen to the Smooth Country Hot Hits Live Playlist on Global Player

Well, our wishes have very much been answered with the launch of Here You Come Again – The Dolly Parton Musical , a joyous new musical comedy that's soundtracked by classic tracks from across Dolly's career.

And you won't have to go to Broadway or even the West End to catch it, with the production going on tour across the UK from May to December 2024.

Tickets for the tour are on sale now and are available from the show's official website.

"Packed with the iconic songs 'Jolene ', '9 to 5' , 'Islands in the Stream', 'I Will Always Love You' , 'Here You Come Again' and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose fantasy version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times," reads the blurb.

"With her wit, humour and charm, Dolly teaches him a whole lot about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps…even if your bootstraps don’t have rhinestones!

"This is one musical that is sure to make you smile."

The Ultimate Dolly Parton tribute

As seen on BBC ONE’s ‘Even Better Than the Real Thing’, BBC Breakfast, ITV’s This Morning, Channel 5, Sky, and Channel 4’s ‘The Last Leg’. Featured in The Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, Metro, Sun, Mirror, Financial Times and many more.

West End star Kelly O’Brien performs as country legend Dolly Parton.

The only Dolly Parton impersonator endorsed by the Parton family, currently touring her UK theatre show – THE DOLLY SHOW.

Australian born Kelly is a world-class entertainer with stunning vocal and flawless comic timing. She brilliantly captures the voice, verve and voluptuousness of the little lady from Tennessee.

From the 22-inch waist to the 32G bust, Kelly captivates audiences around the world with Dolly’s famous mountain soprano.

It’s like Dolly is right there in the room with you.

“Well that was just incredible. The Dolly Show is a master class in charisma, magnetism and warmth, and how t handle a crowd with style. Far beyond a tribute act, this is a star mage by someone who is a natural star themselves.”

“kelly, you were absolutely amazing. i cannot put into words how phenomenal you are, and how breathtaking you look. my mind is blown”, “kelly absolutely nails dolly. her persona, humour, voice, mannerisms, the way she holds herself… every little detail. talent on this level gives goosebumps and tears.".

Unforgettable Performances and Acclaimed Clients

Kelly performs around the U.K and internationally.

Clients include Duran Duran, Singapore Grand Prix, ITV, P&O, Hammersmith Apollo, Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, Great British Care Awards, Ministry of Sound and the Red Sky Charity foundation.

Kelly has performed on the same bill as Craig David, The Human League, Groove Armada, Mel C, The Kooks, Will Young and Beverley Knight.

She also performs at Pride events around the world including Amsterdam, Maspalomas, Sitges, Isle of Wight and Manchester.

In 2023 Kelly embarked on her first ‘Dolly Sown Under’ tour of Australia and headlined the world’s first Dolly Parton festival in New South Wales.

“Well, what can we say apart from WOW! We travelled a round trip of 7 hours to see you and it was worth every second. You are truly amazing. You made us cry with joy and emotion. You really are a diamond in a rhinestone world.”

“just wanted to say thank you so much for tonight. my mother has dementia and has seen the real dolly. she thought you were the real deal. her words were “my life is complete, i’ve held dolly’s hand.” we cannot thank you enough", “i am obsessed as a dolly fan and impersonator i am so jealous of your spot on ability to imitate her voice. i love your dedication to the craft".

MEETING DOLLY

Dolly Parton is the most successful female country performer of all time. She is not only a singer, but a songwriter, actress, businesswoman, author, humanitarian, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. She is also one of the kindest and most inspiring women on the planet.

In 2011, when Dolly Parton’s ‘Better Day’ tour was coming to London, Kelly knew she had to meet her. She had been studying her for five years and had fallen in love with all she represented.

Kelly says: “When I met her, it was like magic. I was in complete awe. It was very surreal.”

“There is so much you want to ask Dolly Parton, but when I stood there next to her, I couldn’t think of anything to say… Luckily, she started chatting away about Dolly impersonators and how much she loves and values them. This was incredible to hear. She gave me her blessing and I left. I was just so incredibly humbled by her presence. I will never forget that day as long as I live. And my dream is to visit Dollywood and perform alongside her one day… Well, we’ve all got to have dreams!”

“Hands down the BEST tribute act I’ve ever seen. Cannot tell you how on point every single word, walk ad mannerism was. Literally Dolly through and through."

“oh my god, seriously amazing powerhouse voice on this pocket rocket of a woman.”, “it was the most uplifting, buxom, glittery love fest ad left us grinning from ear to ear. fan-girling hard and falling in love with dolly all over again.", latest news.

I went to Dollywood for the first time. These 7 things surprised me.

• I visited Dolly Parton's themepark Dollywood in Tennessee for the first time.
• I didn't have many expectations of the park but had always wanted to visit.
• These seven things really stood out to me.

"OMG. I am SO JEALOUS."

When I, an Englishwoman living in New York, told my friends in the UK and the US I was going to Dollywood for the first time, their responses were all variations on the message above.

Of course, Dolly Parton is a global superstar . She's a multimillionaire known not only for hit country songs, including "9 to 5" and "Jolene" (most recently covered by another legend, Beyoncé ), but also for her philanthropy and her theme park, Dollywood. She's an icon, from her big blonde hair to her prolific musical career.

Still, the strength of people's responses across the board to my planned trip surprised me. While I'm nowhere close to being a theme park expert, I happened to visit Universal Studios in LA last year, and people were significantly less curious about it (no shade, Universal!). This level of enthusiasm certainly has a lot to do with people's love for Dolly herself, but is also possibly due to Dollywood's location in rural Tennessee — close to where Dolly grew up in the Smoky Mountains but certainly not a big tourist hot spot. In fact, only a few people I know have visited Dollywood compared to the well-trodden paths of Disney or even Six Flags.

So when I got the chance to go, I jumped at it. And while I'd read a little about the park, I wanted to experience it without preconceptions. So, armed with our $92-per-adult tickets, four friends and I went in search of a Dolly good time on a sunny April day.

Here are seven things that surprised me about Dollywood.

There was less, well, Dolly than I expected.

As we followed the GPS instructions in the car through the local city of Sevierville, one of my friends turned to me and said, "Are you sure you have the right address? I've only seen one sign to Dollywood so far."

And while we were actually on the right road, it seemed to illustrate a theme: I'd expected a LOT more Dolly Parton imagery at the park than there actually was.

To be sure, it has Dollywood branding throughout (including a lot of images of butterflies, which are beloved by Dolly) and musical performances in various venues at various times. We caught a Dolly Parton singalong, for example.

And there's also plenty of Dolly merchandise for sale, though not in every store. But aside from that, images of Dolly herself were few and far between, and we barely heard any of her music in the park apart from the singalong.

I'm sure if we'd taken in some shows we'd have heard more; we also visited too early in the year to see the Dolly Parton Experience, a soon-to-be-opened "interactive area" that will provide "an in-depth look at an iconic career through multiple attractions."

Dollywood feels less about Dolly herself and more about showcasing how her native Tennessee has influenced her and what it has to offer. That fits, given the work of the Dollywood Foundation , which was started two years after the park opened in 1986 to inspire the children in Dolly's home county to achieve educational success.

There's a church, a replica of Dolly's childhood home, and some really beautiful features.

One sign Dollywood isn't like many theme parks: there's a church. In fact, the Robert F. Thomas chapel (named for the doctor and preacher who delivered Dolly) had a full service on the Sunday we visited.

Another homage to Dolly's childhood can be found in the recreation of the home she and her 10 siblings grew up in. The house is the inspiration for many of her songs, like "Tennessee Mountain Home." Many of the items inside the replica are originals from the actual home.

I was also struck by how beautiful parts of the park are — planters full of flowers, water features, old-timey-feeling shopfronts — as well as the surrounding hills.

There were more birds than I expected.

Yes, birds. Dollywood has the US's "largest presentation of non-releasable bald eagles," and you can catch a glimpse of many of them pretty close to where the chapel is located. Plus, the American Eagle Foundation, which looks after the birds at Dollywood, gives regular avian shows and meet-and-greets (all the birds are disabled and wouldn't be able to survive in the wild). I didn't expect to learn about falcons at the theme park or meet a flightless crow that accepts donations of dollar bills in its beak, but every day is a learning day.

The rollercoasters are great!

While rides were something I did expect at Dollywood , I was impressed by how good some are. We were also lucky as the park wasn't busy, so the queues were short.

We particularly enjoyed the Wild Eagle, though we mistakenly missed out on Lightning Rod, which is apparently well-known in the roller coaster community. There's also the enjoyably idiosyncratic Blazing Fury ride, which the Dollywood website describes thus:

"An out-of-control fire is just minutes away from engulfing this 1880s town, and chaos ensues as the town's residents, a cast of characters ranging from firefighters to gunslingers and damsels in distress, hurry to escape the blaze."

You can also go on the Dollywood Express, an actual coal-fired steam engine if you prefer your rides to be slightly closer to the ground.

It's really family-friendly.

While there appeared to be plenty of children brave and tall enough to go on some of the bigger rides, there were also many less challenging rides and amusements for smaller kids. We spotted families with children in strollers and older people in mobility vehicles, adding to an accessible atmosphere. There's also a very useful app for planning your trip.

There's lots of Dollywood merch, but also lots of independent restaurants and stores.

While there were Dollywood-branded food items throughout (like popcorn buckets), we didn't spot any overt branding from big chains, though the concessions did sell Starbucks coffee and Nathan's hotdogs, plus well-known soda brands.

There are plenty of independent-looking restaurants, like Aunt Granny's (named after the nickname Dolly Parton's nieces and nephews gave her), plus some more casual-looking food trucks and stands. The park is also dotted with little stores selling clothing or artwork, and the Craftsman's Valley area has people making and selling "authentic handmade crafts" from the area.

There's also a year-round Christmas store, though — disappointingly — there were no Dolly Parton tree ornaments to be found. We checked.

The cinnamon bread is worth the hype.

"You can't get alcohol at Dollywood, so save the calories for the cinnamon bread," one of my few friends who had been to the park said. He wasn't wrong. For about $15, you get a hot, sugary loaf, and it was great. In fact, it's so popular you can buy T-shirts talking about it. While we didn't get a top, we did definitely consider getting another serving of the bread for our journey home.
