Variety: Falling somewhere between a spirited homage and a snarky burlesque, “Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical” is a Southern-fried musical farce that may be embraced by nostalgic fans of its source material — the long-running TV variety show aptly described as “a cornpone ‘Laugh In’” — but rejected by others for its broad streaks of blue humor.

As a Dallas Native, and the granddaughter of a man who owned the box DVD set of Hee Haw, I feel it is of my duty to comment on this article. Hee Haw is inextricably one of the dumbest and quaintest shows that ever aired on television. The jokes are simple, but it made a lot of people laugh for many years.
I am a hug fan of the DTC, as it was the best regional theater around where I was growing up and I am always impressed by their creative and amazing adaptations. And I am delighted to see a world premiere opening on my hometown stage. And I have no doubt that this show will go over well on the home front. It sounds like a hoot of a show, and I'll have to remind my mother, the daughter of the owner of a HeeHaw DVD collection to go see it.
