Theatre REVIEW: Here You Come Again - The Dolly Parton Musical - ★★★★★



For the first time ever, all of Dolly Parton's biggest hits can be experienced together in a rollicking and joyous new musical comedy.


Packed with the iconic songs Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose fantasy version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times. With her wit, humour and charm, Dolly teaches him a whole lot about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps ... even if your bootstraps don't have rhinestones! This is one musical that is sure to make you smile.


After several successful runs across the United States, Here You Come Again was originally written by two-time Emmy award-winning comedy and songwriter Bruce Vilanch with Gabriel Barre (who also directs) and Tricia Paoluccio (who also plays Dolly) and has now been adapted for the UK by acclaimed British playwright Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Coronation Street).


Hear from both Tricia Paoluccio and Jonathan Harvey as they share their excitement about the show.

MIX UP REVIEWS:


Sadie (Age 11) - ★★★★1/2

"Here we Come Again Is a musical about a man named Kevin who is going through a breakup at the start of the covid pandemic and how the music of dolly Parton inspired him in these dark times.


The cast only consisted of four main people, the two main characters being Kevin, played Steven Webb and Dolly, played by Tricia Paoluccio. They were both full of energy and had great voices and worked well together. I loved the way they sang Dolly’s songs. ‘9 to 5’ was my favourite but they did 15 I total, I also enjoyed two doors down.


The costumes were spectacular I loved all the sparkles on Dolly’s outfit.


The show was a roller coaster of emotions it was funny but sad you could feel the emotions coming from the stage. The audience around us seemed to love it as well.


I would give this show 4.5 out of 5."
