\nFrom the Smoky Mountains to Fort Wayne, Dolly\u2019s Holiday Musical Tour Launches November 15 \u2013 Tickets on Sale This Friday<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 30, 2025) \u2013 Right Angle Entertainment and Paul T. Couch today announced the 2025 national tour of Dolly Parton\u2019s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol<\/a>, a heartwarming musical featuring songs by eleven-time GRAMMY winner Dolly Parton and book by David H. Bell, adapted for the stage by Bell, Couch, and Curt Wollan. The U.S. tour kicks off November 15, 2025, in Owensboro, Kentucky before heading to more than 20 cities including Fort Wayne\u2019s own Embassy Theatre for one night only, Monday, December 8 at 7:30 p.m. The public can purchase tickets this Friday, August 1 at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to see my Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol hitting the road and spreading holiday cheer from city to city. I poured my heart into the music, and I truly hope folks everywhere feel the love, the laughter, and the magic of my beautiful Smoky Mountains that we\u2019ve packed into every scene,\u201d says Dolly. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like music and the holidays to bring friends and family together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set in the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee, this unforgettable production and amazing cast imagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the owner of a mining company town, where his callous greed blinds him to the joys and gifts of the season. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who compel him to see life anew and discover that love is the greatest gift we have. The legendary holiday tale rewritten as a new American classic features Dickens\u2019 classic characters and Parton\u2019s one-of-a-kind songwriting expertise, making this a holiday event you\u2019ll want to share with those you love.<\/p>\n

Throughout her illustrious career, the American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actress, author, businesswoman and humanitarian, has been an ambassador for the Great Smoky Mountains where she was born and raised. Her love for this region and its people are woven throughout the music and songs and beautifully tells this classic story in a whole new light.<\/p>\n

About Dolly Parton<\/strong>
\nHer life and career together make a rags-to-rhinestones story which began on January 19, 1946. Born the fourth child of 12, Dolly grew up in Locust Ridge, nestled against the Great Smoky Mountains. Music runs deep in the Parton family and while many played important parts in Dolly\u2019s success, she credits Uncle Bill Owens for helping her get started in the music business. From taking the stage of \u201cThe Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour\u201d in Knoxville, TN, to landing a spot on \u201cThe Porter Wagoner Show,\u201d Dolly\u2019s talent soon catapulted her to super-stardom. Her songs have captured the hearts of generations. Her electric smile has brightened the lives of millions. Her trademark style is recognized across the globe. Today, Dolly is one of an elite group of individuals to receive at least one nomination from all four major annual American entertainment award organizations; Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, and Tony. In 2004, the U.S. Library of Congress gave her the distinguished Living Legend Award. \u201cMy dream was to make as many people happy as I could in this life,” she said.<\/p>\n

In 2006, she was selected to receive the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. Five years later in 2011, she was awarded a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. Of everything Dolly has achieved, she remains humble and grounded in faith and family. From her \u201cCoat of Many Colors\u201d to her wigs of many styles, no dream was ever too big and no mountain ever too high for the little country girl who turned the world into her stage. From singing barefoot on the front porch of her Tennessee Mountain Home to commanding the stage in six-inch heels, Dolly Parton is a larger-than-life living legend with a heart as big as her dreams.<\/p>\n
