I know this is wild, but is it possible it’s Ariana Maddix? She is tiny like Dolly and her career is really taking off post-Scandoval, especially with her well received run as Roxy Hart in Chicago.

Ooh, interesting! I’d love sabrina or renee. Really though I wish Miley would play her.

Could it be Megan Hilty? (Wasn’t the MM musical in “Smash” called “Bombshell”?)

If it’s Ariana, it would be insult to actual seasoned Broadway stars and Dolly. She needs someone who can capture the stage and embody her spirit. Something that only someone with immense experience can do… Ariana is too much of a newbie.

I’m guessing Kristin Chenoweth.
Laura Bell Bundy?
Pamela Anderson
Carrie St Louis? (Meet me in…)

I wonder if her “biopic” is actually that musical based on her life that she [hopes will premier on Broadway in 2026](https://www.wyff4.com/article/dolly-parton-musical-on-her-life-using-her-songs-broadway/61021393)
I think Megan Hilty is the best guess so far but I’ll also throw Annaleigh Ashford in the mix.
Guessing Kerry Butler, because apparently she did a private reading.
Sabrina Carpenter ?
Kristin Chenoweth?
Gaga?
Megan Hilty or Robyn Hurder?
