Hilarious and downright irreverent, Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical distills the spirit of an iconic television series and bottles it into an original musical comedy! Set in present-day Kornfield Kounty, this highly anticipated show introduces a new generation of irresistible characters as it tells the story of Misty Mae, the ultimate hometown girl who heads out to follow her dreams in the big city... of Tampa. When she returns home to introduce her slick city-boy beau to her friends and family, everything goes haywire! Featuring an original score by Grammy® Best New Artist nominee Brandy Clark and Grammy® Award winning songwriter/producer Shane McAnally (two of today's most critically acclaimed country music singer/songwriters), a book by Robert Horn, direction by Gary Griffin, choreography by Denis Jones and orchestrations by Tony® and Grammy® Award winner Stephen Oremus, Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical gets the Broadway treatment with its eagerly awaited world premiere at DTC.

Ken Clark; Justin Guarini, of American Idol fame; Rose Hemingway from the Tony Award®-nominated How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; and Ryah Nixon all make their DTC debuts as the leads of this knock-out cast. Also making their DTC debuts are Mackenzie Bell; P. J. Benjamin; Kevin Cahoon; Travis Kirk Coombs; Katherine McMillan; Harris Milgrim; Rob Morrison; Adam Perry; Aaron Ramey; and Jonalyn Saxer.
