Duck Dynasty is coming to the Sin City stage, in the form of the “The Duck Commander Family Musical,†based on the Robertson clan of A&E fame.

The 90-minute musical will hit the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas February, the NY Times reported.

According to a statement from the Robertsons, the “semi-biographical musical†will feature music and lyrics from industry vets such as Robert Morris, Steven Morris, and Joe Shane, and direction and choreography from Jeff Calhoun (of “Grease†and “Newsies†fame).

Producer Michael David (“Jersey Boysâ€) told the paper “the show will end up challenging the views and assumptions of people across the political spectrum, more than most theater does.

“The Robertsons are so unusual, their story so juicy, and theater shouldn’t be limited to telling stories about people you resemble or revere.â€

Korie Roberton, speaking with US Weekly, said members of the reality TV clan “love to go to musicals when we go to New York†and are “excited†about the developments.

“It’s gonna be cool,†she said, “and it’ll be another play that people can take their kids to.â€

if they're making a kid-friendly musical, why are they taking it to vegas? there are literally guys on the streets handing out little trading cards with prostitute information on them (they're especially bad in the evening). they tried to give them to my dad, even, who was clearly with his wife and daughter. how is that a kid-friendly environment? lolz

To me it sounds like those hokey dinner shows you go see in Pigeon Forge.

Why is everyone so obsessed with this family?!

I mean, even if it weren't for their over-the-top religiousity... they are a bunch of former yuppies playing at hillbilly pride so they can make money.

And when the redneck and hillbilly pride crap goes out of fashion (which can't be soon enough, personally) they will go back to being yuppies.

If this show was going to the church down the street, who would pay attention? So to Vegas they go. I'd rather hang with the prostitutes.

Are they even popular anymore? None of the merchandise was selling where I live and the ratings are at all time lows- I just looked it up and the Hollywood Reporter reports ( :lol:) that the last season had half the viewership of previous ones. They are never in more reputable gossip magazines anymore. No one cares. I bet this was already in production before they had their great fall and now the producers are stuck.

No that's why the musical they are addicted to the fame
