Kelly O’Brien – The World’s #1 Dolly Parton Tribute
If you can’t see Dolly Parton herself, the next best thing is Kelly O’Brien — widely recognised as the world’s most authentic and accomplished Dolly Parton tribute artist. Endorsed by the Parton family, who have personally seen her show and given glowing reviews, Kelly is trusted by Dolly Parton Enterprises themselves, having been chosen as Dolly’s official body double for film. She was also the only UK finalist in #SearchForDolly, the worldwide casting search for Dolly’s Broadway musical.
Kelly is more than a tribute — she is an illusionist. With a pitch-perfect Tennessee accent, a soaring soprano voice, and the warmth and sparkle that made Dolly a global icon, she captures not just the look, but the heart and soul of the Queen of Country. Audiences leave her shows feeling uplifted, moved, and utterly convinced they’ve been in the presence of Dolly herself.
An award-winning performer with over two decades on stage, Kelly’s career began in South Australia, where she won national competitions and appeared on New Faces and Popstars. Her big break came starring in Germany’s Starlight Express, launching an international career in television, musical theatre, and live music.
Today, she tours the globe with The Dolly Show — a dazzling, full-scale theatrical concert with a live band, featuring all of Dolly’s greatest hits from the 1960s to today, including Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, and I Will Always Love You. Expect powerhouse vocals, laugh-out-loud comedy, rhinestone-studded glamour, and Dolly’s signature warmth in every note.
Featured on BBC One, ITV’s This Morning, The Last Leg, Lorraine, Channel 5, Sky, and in The Times, Daily Mail, and Time Out, Kelly’s uncanny likeness, vocal mastery, and sparkling showmanship have won her fans and critics worldwide. From the unmistakable 32G bust to the 22-inch waist, and from the soft Southern lilt to the last crystal on her gown — Kelly O’Brien is Dolly.
“Looks, sounds and speaks like Dolly… treat yourself to this seriously fun night out.” — Time Out
“Fabulous!” — Frieda Parton
“One of the world’s best tributes.” — BBC ONE
“She looks just like her.” — Alan Carr
“The world’s no 1. Dolly Parton tribute.” — Daily Mail
