The Dolly Show is an exceptional Dolly Parton experience and one of the world’s best tributes. West End star Kelly O’Brien performs the beloved hits of country legend Dolly Parton – from Jolene to I Will Always Love You. This unrivalled 5-star show pays homage to Dolly while brilliantly recreating the vitality, voice, style, and humour of the little lady from Tennessee.
When Dolly toured the UK in 2011, the pair met at London’s O2 Arena.
Kelly looks just like Dolly and she sounds just like Dolly. She is one of the world’s best tribute acts, according to the BBC. Kelly started out as a country singer, winning the Australian National Country Muster talent contest in 1995. She is the only Dolly Parton impersonator to be a finalist in the Dolly Parton challenge and to be invited to sing with Dolly’s band in Nashville, Tennessee. Kelly has won many awards in her long career, including the U.K National Tribute Awards – for 4 consecutive years. Kelly has performed as Dolly across the UK and around the world. Performance venues include the Singapore Grand Prix, Hammersmith Apollo, Ascot Racecourse, Adelaide vineyards, Barbados beaches to Barcelona Pride. Clients of this extraordinary Dolly Parton tribute act include Green Flag, P&O, Ministry of Sound, Specsavers, Amsterdam Pride and ITV.

Tonight’s The Night, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Good Morning Australia, Popstars, How To Look Good Naked, X Factor and more recently BBC ONE’s Even Better Than The Real Thing. Kelly has spent years honing her show, working extremely hard to make sure it is the best it can be. Kelly has even serenaded Glastonbury festival goers as they made their way to see Dolly.
