Dolly Parton was more than a star. Even calling her an icon does not quite do the job. Beloved by every generation, by people who love country music, pop, Broadway show tunes, et al., she was a crossover artist who shined with a special light. When she wasn’t writing hit songs that she recorded herself, she wrote songs with or for almost every other kind of star, selling more than 100 million records. And her creativity knew no bounds: she wrote “I Will Always Love You” for Whitney Houston and “Jolene” in the same day! She was a shrewd businesswoman, a magnanimous philanthropist, and a uniquely American treasure that we will celebrate on this evening at 54 Below with a concert full of her most famous songs.

54 Celebrates Dolly Patron will feature a cavalcade of her greatest hits, including “Backwoods Barbie,” “Islands in the Stream,” “Here You Come Again,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “Potential New Boyfriend,” and of course, “Jolene,” and “I Will Always Love You.” These brilliant songs will be performed by a handpicked roster of musical theater, nightclub, country, and concert stars in this special show produced, directed, written, and hosted by legendary NYC impresario, Scott Siegel, who was created nearly 700 major concert events that have been performed all over the world.

Siegel is a prolific author (48 books), critic, columnist, and concert producer, who has worked with hundreds of stars, among them Sutton Foster, Michael Feinstein, Stephanie J. Block, Tony Danza, Robert Goulet, Linda Eder, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Colm Wilkinson, and Kristin Chenoweth.

At 54 Below, he has created two long-running anchor series, 54 Sings Broadway’s Greatest Hits (11 years), Frank Sinatra: The Concert (nearly 100 shows!), and tribute concerts dedicated to The Beatles, ABBA, Billy Joel, Elvis Presley, Tony Bennett, and more! He is honored and delighted to bring you 54 Celebrates Dolly Parton!

In honor of Dolly Parton’s legendary philanthropy, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
