Duck Dynasty Musical Cancelled

Now, what was the problem here?:
Cancel your plans, the Duck Dynasty musical is leaving Las Vegas. After just a month at the Crown Theatre inside The Rio hotel, the unpopular act will be shutting down on May 17th. The Duck Commander Musical, as it is titled, was based on the book Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson. The dead-on-arrival act opened on April 15th – yet the musical failed to sell more than a hundred tickets once during its run, leaving a 680 seat theatre looking embarrassingly empty each night.

1.) Caught in the Culture War crossfire - basically not gay enough?;
2.) Vegas is brutal on all musicals not named "Mamma Mia"?;
3.) Duck Dynasty has a regional appeal only, and Vegas isn't in that region?;
4.) Musical was too long?;
5.) It wasn't a very good musical, and was killed by word-of-mouth?;
6.) Relied too much on special effects?;
7.) Didn't rely enough on special effects (could do cool things with alligators)?;
8.) All of the above?;
9.) None of the above?

Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan.

Need to bring this to San Francisco, and revamp it a bit.
