Here You Come Again

A musical comedy full to the brim with Dolly Parton’s hits, telling the story of a fan’s journey, guided by Dolly teaching life lessons.

Here You Come Again is a rollicking, joyous new musical comedy featuring all of Dolly Parton’s biggest hits! Packed with iconic songs like Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again, and many more, 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.

With her wit, humour, and charm, Dolly teaches him invaluable lessons about life, love, and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps – whether or not those bootstraps have rhinestones!

Following sold out seasons across the U.S. and U.K., Here You Come Again is coming to Sydney with co-creator Tricia Paoluccio in the role of Dolly, next to Australia’s own Dash Kruck (Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Kevin, Kellie Rode (Come From Away) as Mum, Laura Joy Bunting (Grease The Musical) as Tish, and Bailey Dunnage (Ride The Cyclone) as Jeremy. The production also features a talented live band led by Andrew Worboys (Musical Director & Keys), with Tina Harris (Bass), Luke Herbert (Drums), and Ash Murdica (Electric Guitar).

Here You Come Again is co-created and written by two-time Emmy Award-winning Bruce Vilanch, Gabriel Barre and Tricia Paoluccio, and adapted for Australia by Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish, this is the 2025 musical you won’t want to miss!
