Here You Come Again: The Dolly Parton Musical (Approved by Dolly Herself) Is On Its Way To Australia

Here You Come Again, the dazzling musical comedy packed with the greatest hits of Dolly Parton (and approved by the icon herself!) is heading to Australia.

Featuring 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.

In a celebration of Dolly’s 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.

This 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’s own Dash Kruck (Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) and an all-Australian ensemble with a live band.

“I’ve loved Dolly my whole life and have been singing her songs since I was a little girl,” said Tricia Paoluccio. “It’s been my dream to create a musical comedy that celebrates her music while imagining how she might help someone in a real-life way.”

“Having Dolly’s personal stamp of approval on this piece makes it even more special, and I can’t wait to bring this production to Australia!”

Co-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’t 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.
