The Dolly Show

Wednesday, April 22 | 8:00PMHard Rock Live
If you can’t see Dolly Parton herself, the next best thing is Kelly O’Brien — widely
recognised as the world’s most authentic and accomplished Dolly Parton tribute artist.
Endorsed by the Parton family, who have personally seen her show and given glowing
reviews, Kelly is trusted by Dolly Parton Enterprises themselves, having been chosen as
Dolly’s official body double for film. She was also the only UK finalist in #SearchForDolly,
the worldwide casting search for Dolly’s Broadway musical.
Kelly is more than a tribute — she is an illusionist. With a pitch-perfect Tennessee accent, a
soaring soprano voice, and the warmth and sparkle that made Dolly a global icon, she
captures not just the look, but the heart and soul of the Queen of Country. Audiences leave
her shows feeling uplifted, moved, and utterly convinced they’ve been in the presence of
Dolly herself.
An award-winning performer with over two decades on stage, Kelly’s career began in South
Australia, where she won national competitions and appeared on New Faces and Popstars.
Her big break came starring in Germany’s Starlight Express, launching an international career
in television, musical theatre, and live music.
Today, she tours the globe with The Dolly Show — a dazzling, full-scale theatrical concert
with a live band, featuring all of Dolly’s greatest hits from the 1960s to today, including
Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, and I Will Always Love You. Expect powerhouse vocals,
laugh-out-loud comedy, rhinestone-studded glamour, and Dolly’s signature warmth in every
note.
Featured on BBC One, ITV’s This Morning, The Last Leg, Lorraine, Channel 5, Sky,
and in The Times, Daily Mail, and Time Out, Kelly’s uncanny likeness, vocal mastery, and
sparkling showmanship have won her fans and critics worldwide. From the unmistakable
32G bust to the 22-inch waist, and from the soft Southern lilt to the last crystal on her gown
— Kelly O’Brien is Dolly.
