Dolly Parton’s musical is finally live!

So far, there’s no word on how the upcoming musical will affect the “Two Doors Down” singer’s unfinished musical autobiography. Like “Here You Come Again,” the jukebox will feature some of his hits. During an interview in 2016, the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year stated:
“We are telling my life story as a musical with some new songs. The hits will be in it, but I’ve also written a lot of new music.”

The Blast reports that Parton talked about ringing in the New Year with her daughter Miley Cyrus by her side. The duo performed a medley of their two biggest hits — “I Will Always Love You” and “Wrecking Ball” — during Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve Party.
Despite thrilling the crowd at the shindig, the moment held an emotional tug for the singers, who reflected on the process that led them to give birth to the songs. For starters, the “Hannah Montana” star released “Wrecking Ball” toward the end of her public relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth, making it impossible for her to perform it without crying.
In fact, her godmother revealed that she cried during their rehearsal leading up to the party, prompting her to hold the “Party in the USA” hitmaker’s hand when they performed live. The emotional feeling stayed with the pair as they sang separate verses before singing the chorus together.
For Parton, the experience was an “uplifting” one that was “deeply moving” with a “transcendent quality.” Explaining his thoughts during a follow-up interview, the 77-year-old said:
“The fact that we sing well together raises our emotions. Then we got into ‘I Will Always Love You,’ and she would just shed these tears, and it was so emotional.”
The Grand Ole Opry host shared that he and Cyrus can deliver so well because they’ve invested in the lyrics and are singing from a place where they can relate to what they’re “singing — and singing.”
“Wrecking Ball” was released in August 2013, and it gave the “So Undercover” star her first number one song on the Billboard Hot 100.
