The comedy was originally written by multi-Emmy award-winning comedy and songwriter Bruce Vilanch with Gabriel Barre, who also directs, and writer and actor Tricia Paoluccio, who co-writes and stars as Dolly.

Acclaimed British TV and theatre writer Jonathan Harvey, who has also penned episodes of Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Coronation Street, provides additional material for the production’s UK run.

Speaking about what audiences can expect from the show, Tricia said: “I think every audience member, no matter who they are, will find something very relatable in the character of Kevin (brilliantly portrayed by Stevie Webb).

“And I think they’ll find the show to be really funny, with lots of laughs, but they’ll also be surprised by how deep and emotional it is. It’s a play with music, with the side benefit of it also sometimes feeling like a Dolly Parton concert.”
