Although not the exact picture of Lucille Benson I saw in my mind upon reading about this new musical...this picture will do. First thing that came to my mind was the "South will rise again" and Mother Burnside burping in the Peckerwood Plantation scene in Mame.
All my sympathy goes to the poor Chippendales having to co-exist in the same proximity. The Duck Dynasty clan's 15 minutes of fame expired like several years ago. Their ratings have been progressively sinking (yet A&E continues to renew them while axing their scripted shows), every time one of them goes out in public they seem to do so with the intention of unapologetically offending as many people as possible, and their latest attempt at producing movies (giving us the relentlessly dull and abysmal Left Behind) tanked in an eye blink, yet like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2, they keep reappearing in various venues to continue their reign of terror and bad taste.
It won't be as bad as Brooklyn but just as horrifying. And Jeff should be ashamed of himself to become involved with these idiots. Jeff better not camp it up during rehearsals or he will be mistaken for a duck. He doesn't need the money, his residuals from Newsies must be enormous. It must be for the art.
