During her Fringe shows, Barbie shared that during lockdown she started performing from home via live-stream and was surprised at the overwhelming reaction she received for her homage to Parton.

She wondered if people might get a kick out of her taking it to the festival stage. In 2021, her Fringe World season was a sell-out.

Barbie will be joined on the night by her fabulous dancers, and audiences are invited to singalong with their Dolly favourites.

Dolly Parton: Welcome to Koorliny is coming to Koorliny Arts Centre on Friday, 15 August. For more, head to Facebook.
