Why see Shucked?

We're All Ears!

As seen on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2023

Winner of two Drama Desk Awards! After an a-maize-ing premiere at Broadways Nederlander Theatre, the heartwarming story is heading on a national tour! With Nashville's top songwriting talents from Tony winner Robert Horn, in collaboration with Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, this musical offers a kernel of joy in these divided times, exploring how opening up to people and ideas we are wary of can be a beautiful process, uniting us in our similarities, not our differences. Aw Shucks!

What Is Shucked About?

Shucked follows the story of Maizy and Beau, a couple residing in Cob County. They face a setback in their plans to get married when the corn, crucial for the economic vitality of their rural town, starts withering. In response, Maizy embarks on a journey to seek assistance from an expert in Tampa...but things take an unexpected turn.

Set to be a delightful crowd-pleaser full of corny jokes, folksy storytelling, and an instant-classic soundtrack, don't miss your chance to reap the rewards of Shucked!
