Here You Come Again, the dazzling musical comedy packed with the greatest hits of\u00a0Dolly Parton (and approved by the icon herself!)\u00a0is heading to Australia.
\nFeaturing iconic songs like Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, and I Will Always Love You, this heart-warming and hilarious show will tour Australia following sold out seasons across the US and UK.
\nIn a celebration of Dolly\u2019s biggest hits, Here You Come Again is a rollicking, joyous musical comedy that delivers charm, wit, and an unforgettable soundtrack. This colourful and heartfelt musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose fantasy version of international icon Dolly Parton helps him navigate life’s toughest challenges.
\nThis dazzling musical is arriving in Australia with an all-star cast, including co-creator Tricia Paoluccio who is returning to the role of Dolly, alongside Australia\u2019s own Dash Kruck (Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) and an all-Australian ensemble with a live band.
\n“I’ve loved Dolly my whole life and have been singing her songs since I was a little girl,” said Tricia Paoluccio. “It\u2019s been my dream to create a musical comedy that celebrates her music while imagining how she might help someone in a real-life way.”
\n“Having Dolly\u2019s personal stamp of approval on this piece makes it even more special, and I can\u2019t wait to bring this production to Australia!”
\nCo-created by two-time Emmy Award-winning comedy writer and songwriter Bruce Vilanch, in collaboration with director Gabriel Barre and Tricia Paoluccio, Here You Come Again is a hilarious, feel-good musical you won\u2019t want to miss. The UK adaptation is penned by acclaimed British playwright Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Coronation Street) and has been adapted for the Australian stage by Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish, with musical direction by Andrew Worboys and lighting design by Jason Bovaird.
\nHere You Come Again will arrive at Melbourne\u2019s Comedy Theatre from 12\u00a0July and Theatre Royal Sydney from 12 September. Dates and venues for Perth, Canberra, Newcastle and Adelaide to be announced soon.
