Shucked

‘Corn, yes, we said corn, Just as sure as the day that you were born.’ Tony Award-winning musical comedy Shucked makes its much-anticipated UK premiere, landing at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre for 5 weeks only, following an acclaimed run on Broadway and a US tour. 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! Maizy and Beau are getting hitched, when the corn that protects their small community starts to die. The town needs answers. But who will dare to venture beyond the borders of Cob County? Including the knockout songs ‘Woman of the World’, ‘Somebody Will’ and ‘Independently Owned’, this Broadway hit about an unlikely hero, an unscrupulous con artist, and a battle for the heart and soil of a small town, is not to be missed. ‘Shucked is just so damn funny the audience sits in a state of perpetual giggles.’ New York Post ‘Flat out hilarious.’ The Wall Street Journal ‘A deliciously corny new musical with rollicking songs by accomplished Nashville songwriters Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and a script stuffed with plenty of laughs by Robert Horn.’ Time Out New York
