Nashville, TN – Country music legend Dolly Parton made a surprise appearance at the world premiere of her new musical in Nashville, exciting fans and marking a significant moment for the highly anticipated production. Parton, alongside a male presenter, addressed the enthusiastic audience, sharing her excitement and personal connection to the project. "I am so excited, and of course, you know I'm a little nervous," Parton quipped to the cheering crowd, dressed in a shimmering gold jumpsuit. She humorously noted the technical challenges of a new show, stating, "We may have to stop and start every now and then... but you don't get your money back, and we may even make you pay extra!" The presenter added that this was only the third time the show had been run in a row, emphasizing the audience's unique opportunity. Parton also shared a nostalgic anecdote, recalling a high school trip to New York where she saw the musical 'Hello, Dolly!'. "I thought, 'Wow, I can't wait to see my name on a taxi cab again!'" she joked, alluding to her long-standing dream of having her own musical. She expressed gratitude for the cast and crew's hard work and her joy in premiering the show in her home state. The star also had a lighthearted warning for attendees: "Every time you hear something, you know, you're going to want to sing along. Well, don't! You sing your own hoedown, honey. This is Dolly's musical!" She also reminded the audience to turn off their cell phones and refrain from taking photos after the introduction. The premiere promises to be a memorable event for fans and theater-goers alike.
