This spring, see why critics from esteemed entities like Entertainment Weekly, the New York Post, and The Guardian sing praises about this unique musical that focuses on—you guessed it—corn!
Shucked is the creation of two of Nashville's top music producers, Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark, who came up with the lyrics and music to the play, and celebrated screenwriter Robert Horn, who authored the book.

Get ready for a memorable event coming to Benedum Center this spring. Shucked is a laughable theatrical comedy with fun music and comedic storytelling that brings you into a town with an unrelenting love of corn.
The production starts off in Cob County, where an engaged couple named Maizy and Beau are planning their wedding. However, the celebration takes an unexpected break when the towns corn suddenly starts to die. The almost newlyweds agree to postpone things and join the town in fretting about its crops.
Maizy decides to pursue an explanation in Florida. After she gets off the plane in Tampa, she meets Gordy, who is pretending to be a corn doctor. Gordy vows to help her save her towns crops, even though he's really after her expensive bracelet to pay off his mob debts - and drama follows.
Shucked is a theatrical performance that has been years in the making, with music and lyrics by Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark. The fun music and astounding cast have won more than the laughs and hearts of audiences, amassing nine nominations for the 76th Tony Awards, the 2022 Salt Lake City Awards for Best New Play or Musical, and the award for Outstanding Music at the Drama Desk Awards.
The Daily Beast, Broadway.com, and the NY Broadway are just some rave reviews as this Broadway musical prepares to get a film adaptation with Mandalay Pictures. With highly talented actors and directed by Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, Shucked is a can't-miss show for anyone who adores country music, corny puns, and an exciting theatrical experience.
