“I had always heard that she wanted to do a musical based on her life, so when she asked me if I would be interested in producing it, I was thrilled. As the world knows, Dolly is a magical blend of talent, hard work, intelligence, charm, wit and a giant heart. I’m thrilled to bring her inspiring story to Broadway.”he added.
