The New York Times reports the Robertson clan is overseeing a 90-minute show titled The Duck Commander Family Musical. The plan is for the production to open at Sin City’s Rio hotel and casino in February.

The Robertsons wouldn’t actually star in the show; they’d be portrayed by actors.

The musical will be based on Willie Robertson and his wife Korie’s 2012 book, The Duck Commander Family. He tells the Times, “We’ve enjoyed the process of making a musical alongside the team who is interested in telling the Robertson family story from an outside perspective.”

The Times notes that several Broadway producers are “aghast” that some colleagues are involved in the project, in light of the fact that Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson equated homosexuality to bestiality in a 2013 GQ interview.

The Duck Dynasty
musical is being developed by Jersey Boys producer Michael David.
