Country music icon Dolly Parton is moving ahead with a major new career project after recently sharing an update on her health and stepping back from some live performances.

Parton announced that her life story will become a Broadway musical, with Page Six reporting that the production will bring her decades-long journey in music and entertainment to the stage.

The musical, titled "Dolly: A True Original Musical," will feature many of Parton's biggest hits, including "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," and "9 to 5," along with new songs written specifically for the production.

Parton said the show will tell her story from her own perspective, focusing on the experiences, challenges, and successes that shaped her career.

The announcement comes after Parton revealed she had been dealing with health issues that forced her to postpone plans for live performances.

According to Page Six, Parton recently said she needed additional time to focus on her recovery and was not ready to return to the stage for scheduled shows.

The singer reassured fans that she remains involved in new projects and continues working, even as she takes time to address her health.

The Broadway musical is expected to offer fans a look behind the scenes of Parton's rise from her childhood in Tennessee to becoming one of the most recognized performers in the world.
