Las Vegas: "Duck Commander Musical" To Close After Four Weeks

Duck Commander Musical, based on the popular reality TV show Duck Dynasty, has announced it will close May 17th.

The show had it's official opening on April 15th at the Rio’s Crown Theater in Las Vegas.

According to reports, calls were made to the crew today informing them the show would close.

To be fair, the reviews were not bad. Not GREAT mind you, but not bad. I hate seeing actors out of work, but clearly the brand has lost it's lustre.

The once popular reality juggernaut came under fire when the show's patriarch, Phil Robertson,gave an interview to GQ Magazine in 2013 where he shared anti-gay animus:

"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.

"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right."

In the aftermath of the interview, the TV series saw a decline of 50% of it's audience.
