Seattle Men’s Chorus Will Salute Dolly Parton
Performances will run April 6-May 18, 2025.
Don your favorite cowboy hats, boots, and everything rhinestone for a fun-filled concert experience – Dolly: Seattle Men’s Chorus Salutes Dolly Parton. Seattle Men’s Chorus honors the iconic singer, songwriter, and enduring LGBTQIA+ ally with a brand-new show built entirely on music Dolly Parton created and performed.
The entertaining concert — with performances in Seattle, Bellingham, Tacoma, and Everett — will feature new arrangements of Parton classics including “Honky Tonk Angels,” “Jolene,” “Islands in the Stream,” and a mashup of songs from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” Video storytelling will be highlighted throughout the show.
“Everybody loves Dolly,” said Seattle Men’s Chorus Artistic Director Paul Caldwell. “She and her music embody a fun and loving energy that’s just infectious — and this larger-than-life concert pulls out all the stops, with an abundance of everything as only the Seattle Men’s Chorus can deliver.”
“Dolly Parton has a career spanning 60 years and she’s sold more than 100 million records and has many awards for her music. She’s also an incredible activist and philanthropist. She radiates joy — and we always strive to celebrate joy and inclusivity in our performances, so it was a natural combination,” said Seattle Men’s Chorus Executive Director Craig Coogan.
