The Dolly Show brings a celebration of the music of Dolly Parton to Colchester, starring acclaimed tribute performer Kelly O’Brien.

O’Brien has built an international reputation for her portrayal of the country music icon, touring extensively with a live show that spans Dolly Parton’s career from the 1960s through to the present day. She was a finalist in the official global casting search for the Dolly Parton Broadway musical and has also worked as Dolly’s body double.

Backed by a live band, the show features many of Dolly Parton’s best-known songs, including Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, Coat of Many Colours, Here You Come Again, and I Will Always Love You.

Combining music, storytelling and humour, the production celebrates the life and career of one of country music’s most enduring stars.
