Review: A‑Maize‑ing Fun: SHUCKED Pops with Heart and Humor at the Ohio Theatre
by Christina Mancuso - Apr 9, 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).

Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Keller Auditorium
by Krista Garver - Apr 1, 2026

Boublil and Schönberg's LES MISÉRABLES stormed back to the Keller Auditorium last night. I went in wondering how a show about a failed anti-monarchist uprising in 1832 might land differently now, on the heels of the third national 'No Kings' protest, than it did when it was last here in 2018.
