In the greatest development for The Legitimate Theater since the boffo hit Stop the Planet of the Apes. I Want To Get Off!, the marketing geniuses who portray a family of folksy Louisiana fundamentalist Christian duck-call makers have announced plans for a big-budget musical
You haven't lived til you've heard the heartrending "In Un Mondo, dove..." used as the theme in more movies than Carmina Burana.
I think that we are beginning to get a sense of where the producers want to take the whole DD franchise over the next decade.
Phase 1: Create a show for television in the "reality" show genre, in which a bunch of hired actors portray a real-life family of duck call makers.
Phase 2 : Creating a musical for the stage that is about the TV show about the fake family of duck call makers. Members of the stage cast will portray members of the TV show cast. They will be stage actors who are pretending to be TV actors who are pretending to be the duck call making family.
Phase 3: Contract with a group of writers to create a series of novelizations about the stage show. The books will tell the stories of the stage actors as they rehearse for a musical production in which they perform the roles of TV actors who are acting in the roles of duck call makers for a TV show.
Phase 4: Create a Hollywood movie trilogy that tells the stories of a group of writers who are hired to write a bunch of novels about a group of actors who are starring in a stage musical about a bunch of TV actors who are hired to portray a family of duck call makers.
Phase 5: Create a television show about a group of Hollywood script writers as they struggle to produce scripts for a series of movies that tell a story about a group of writers who have been hired to create a series of novels about a group of stage actors as they prepare for a musical production in which they will be playing the roles of actors hired for a TV show about a family of duck call makers.
The possibilities are endless. A bright future lies ahead for the whole Duck Dynasty franchise.
"1973-74 Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities."
Ah, memories. I was 14. It was summer. My mother spent the entire summer glued to the tv, while in the next room I did jigsaw puzzles. I still have my favorite bits from the testimony memorized.
I found a little snippet from "Phil's Sermon". I believe it's the opening number from Act 2, Scene 2 and it borrows heavily from "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from "Oklahoma".
Fags and ath-e-ists better scurry Don't be slow, better change in a hurry God ain't got no favor to curry. You just bet-ter stop!
Jesus loves, but he don't love a brother, When two brothers love one another Jesus is sad for any man-lover, and he tells his Pop! Then he sends you straight to hell - and you burnnnn, non-stop.
"Duck Commander Family Musical is what the whole hep world would be doing Saturday nights if the Nazis had won the war. This will be the Sixth Reich"
I just flew back from Vegas (and, boy, is my liver tired).
I hope it goes into the same theatre as Zombie Burlesque.
Or maybe they can stage it at Bally's, which I was mildly amazed to learn now contains "Liaison" -- the first gay nightclub in a major Strip casino-hotel.

I'm surprised that anyone would even peek in.
