An unlikely hero, an unscrupulous con man, and a battle for the heart & soil of a small town.
SHUCKED is the Tony Award®-winning musical comedy The Wall Street Journal calls “flat out hilarious!” Featuring a book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn (Tootsie), a score by the Grammy® Award-winning songwriting team of Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and directed by Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this corn-fed, corn-bred American musical is sure to satisfy your appetite for great musical theater.
This big, big show is, at the end of the day, about little things—love, community, and corn. It follows the age-old tale of a young person striking out from their small town into the big world, and learning just how exciting and horrifying the 'real world' can be. It is a comedy through and through. There is nary a minute when a joke, pun, euphemism, or double entendre is uttered. And while this format of dad jokes usually is groan-worthy, these jokes are self-indulgent and witty enough to make that groan a pleasant one.
In a world where there is always something serious and cynical going on, we could always use something light. Shucked successfully checks all those boxes and brings joy to the audience perfectly.
