Businessman and television personality Willie Robertson is best known for his wise-cracking ways on the hit TV series Duck Dynasty, yet in recent months, he's taken on a new role as producer of a Broadway-style Bible musical he says is so good that it made him cry.
That production, His Story: The Musical, debuted in Colony, Texas, this month, telling the story of Jesus within the framework of pop and hip-hop music. Robertson calls it a combination of Hamilton and The Chosen. Jeff Calhoun, who received Tony Awards for Newsies and Grease, directed it. It's playing all summer at the Broadway Tent, a state-of-the-art, 1,300-seat, 75,000-square-foot event center.
Robertson and his wife, Korie, became producers of His Story last year after it was already in motion.
