Experience the iconic music of Dolly Parton like never before. Dolly & Friends: Roots & Rhinestones brings Dolly’s greatest hits, beloved duets, covers and collaborations to life in an intimate performance set amidst the warm glow of candlelight.
This stripped-back, reimagined production of Dolly Parton’s iconic music centres on the Country legend’s timeless storytelling through rich, cinematic arrangements. Soaring three-part vocal harmonies are wrapped in raw acoustic guitar, piano, light percussion, and the compelling sound of violin and cello. Accompanied by a visual backdrop tracing Dolly's extraordinary life and career, Dolly & Friends delivers a breathtaking, unplugged musical experience that honours the American legend in an entirely new light.

Dolly & Friends: Roots & Rhinestones delivers a premier, multi-sensory experience while reliving Dolly Parton’s iconic musical journey, featuring some of Australia's finest performers. Led by vocalist Debbi Arpini, whose warm tone pays homage to Dolly Parton’s rich storytelling, the ensemble also features powerhouse vocalists Michelle Eaton-Reid and Gary Hobley, who bring over two decades of shared performance experience and seamless three-part harmonies to the stage.
The line-up is grounded by classical crossover virtuosos Marianne Rothschild (violin) and Clara Schutz (cello)—members of The Crossing Machine who have shared stage and studio with global icons including Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Marina Prior and Robbie Williams—alongside Perth-born pianist and percussionist Troy Webster. Moving away from traditional ‘wig & costume’ tribute acts, the group presents intimate, custom-crafted acoustic arrangements set against the warmth of a candlelight backdrop and an immersive digital history of Dolly’s legacy.
