Review: CITY OF ANGELS at Ogunquit Playhouse
by Dan Marois - Jul 29, 2026

It is hard to believe that City of Angels debuted nearly four decades ago. Born out of the late-1980s resurgence of film noir send-ups, the show demands rapid-fire lyrical precision and a swinging jazz score that balances tough-edged detective lore with a biting satire of early Hollywood. With music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel, and a razor-sharp book by Larry Gelbart (creator of TV’s MASH*), it remains a formidable piece of musical theater.

Review: SHUCKED Yields a Harvest of Laughs at Benedum Center
by Greg Kerestan - Apr 19, 2026

Though the show is (intentionally) corny, there's a lot of heart and humor in this new country musical.

Review: A‑Maize‑ing Fun: SHUCKED Pops with Heart and Humor at the Ohio Theatre
by Christina Mancuso - Apr 8, 2026

Originally conceived as an adaptation of the long‑running TV variety show Hee Haw, Shucked popped into the Ohio Theatre on Tuesday night packed with deliciously corny puns, ear-to-ear smiles, and rapid‑fire one‑liners. What begins as a wink‑and‑nod celebration of pun‑loving humor quickly reveals itself as a genuinely heartfelt Broadway musical with a sweet love story, toe‑tapping songs, and a whole lot of heart.  Set in Cobb County, this Southern‑fried tale boasts a sharp book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn (Tootsie), toe‑tapping music from Grammy winners Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and expert direction by Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray).

Interview: Danielle Wade Talks Bringing SHUCKED the Musical to Canada
by Lauren Gienow - Feb 26, 2026

Next week, the North American tour of SHUCKED begins performances at Mirvish’s Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. Broadway World had the opportunity to catch up with Danielle Wade, who plays Maizy and who also happens to be Canadian! We talk all things corn, her tour family, and making her grand return to Canada with this special show.

Review: SHUCKED at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis
by Jared Fessler - Jan 7, 2026

At first glance, Shucked doesn’t seem like a show that should work. A Broadway musical about corn, packed with puns and country music, sounds like it might wear thin fast. But during its stop at the Orpheum Theatre, this touring production proves that beneath the dad jokes and folksy charm is a surprisingly smart and generous piece of musical theatre.

Review: SHUCKED at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - Dec 3, 2025

Only on Broadway can a show this proudly preposterous, this shamelessly corny, sneak up on the skeptics and knock the wind out of them. SHUCKED, the goofy little musical that could, arrives at ASU Gammage in Tempe like a hayride crashing into a punch bowl.

Review: Pun-tastic SHUCKED Harvests Laughs at Segerstrom Center
by Michael Quintos - Nov 14, 2025

Filled with a seemingly non-stop parade of awww-shucks delivered puns—of both super naughty and super corny varieties—the show, for lack of a more eloquent description, is so frikkin silly and stupid in the best possible ways a comedy can get. Mind you, this isn't an insult at all—the show is so unapologetically and purposely silly, that the whole thing actually feels like savvy (and sassy) comedic gold, albeit the broad and dorky kind that audiences of all kinds will likely adore and appreciate. Unexpectedly weird in the most winning ways, SHUCKED had me laughing heartily at all of its strange, admirably sustained shenanigans and down-home humor, never once wavering from its 'corny' (haha) machinations not even for a millisecond. The show's rather enjoyable national tour production continues performances at OC's Segerstrom Center for the Arts through November 23, 2025.

Review: SHUCKED at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Nov 5, 2025

Dear Readers, I want to talk to you about somewhat under the radar shows, and corn. Not all shows have that name recognition or known songs. Sometimes these new story, original musical gems come along, and they need some of your time and attention. One such show is “Shucked” currently playing at the Paramount. With a subject matter that might make some go “huh?” it could pass you by. Don’t let it!

Review: SHUCKED at Keller Auditorium
by Krista Garver - Oct 29, 2025

In times like these, sometimes you just need to turn off your brain and laugh. That's exactly what the national tour of the musical comedy SHUCKED delivers – a few hours of unapologetically silly, pun-saturated fun.
