NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Hey there Dolly fans! We've got something exciting for you!

Dolly has been writing her life story as a Broadway musical and it's finally being developed for the stage in 2026!

“Hello, I’m Dolly, and I lived my whole life to see this show on stage," said Dolly. I’ve written many original songs for the show and included all your favorites in it as well. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll clap, you’ll stomp, it truly is a Grand Ol’ Opera. Pun and fun intended. Don’t miss it!”

Dolly made the announcement Thursday and the start of CMA Fest. On top of the musical, she's bringing a Dolly themed hotel to Music City and Dolly wine!

'Hello, I'm Dolly - An Original Musical' for the Broadway stage and while tickets aren't available just yet, you can sign up here to be the first to hear when they do come out.

Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
