Shine up your cowboy boots and grab your rhinestones, Here You Come Again, the dazzling musical comedy packed with Dolly Parton’s greatest hits, is heading to Australia. In Melbourne, performances will begin at the Comedy Theatre from 12 July 2025.
Officially produced with the approval of Dolly Parton herself, this heart-warming and hilarious show features iconic songs like “Jolene”, “9 to 5”, “Islands in the Stream”, and “I Will Always Love You”.
Following sold-out seasons across the US and UK, Here You Come Again is ready to charm Australian audiences with its infectious energy and unforgettable soundtrack.
In a celebration of Dolly’s biggest hits, Here You Come Again is a rollicking, joyous musical
comedy that delivers charm, wit, and an unforgettable soundtrack that will have you saying ‘I
Will Always Love You’ to every song (unless your name is Jolene). This colourful and heartfelt
musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose fantasy version of international icon Dolly Parton
helps him navigate life’s toughest challenges.
This dazzling musical is arriving in Australia with an all-star cast, including co-creator Tricia
Paoluccio who is returning to the role of Dolly, alongside Australia’s own Dash Kruck (Little
Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) and an all-Australian ensemble with a live band.
In sharing her excitement for playing Dolly across the country, Tricia Paoluccio said, “I’ve loved
Dolly my whole life and have been singing her songs since I was a little girl. It’s been my dream
to create a musical comedy that celebrates her music while imagining how she might help
someone in a real-life way. Having Dolly’s personal stamp of approval on this piece makes it
even more special, and I can’t wait to bring this production to Australia!”
