Robertson, who is the son of Phil Robertson and the CEO of Duck Commander, went on to say that casting for the musical went very well, including an actor to portray Uncle Si who "nailed" the role. Furthermore, the Robertson clan has stamped the musical score with approval.
"When we heard the first four songs played for us, Willie and I cried," Korie revealed. "We boo-hooed like babies… It's the story of the American dream."
