Review: SHUCKED at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Nov 5, 2025
Dear Readers, I want to talk to you about somewhat under the radar shows, and corn. Not all shows have that name recognition or known songs. Sometimes these new story, original musical gems come along, and they need some of your time and attention. One such show is “Shucked” currently playing at the Paramount. With a subject matter that might make some go “huh?” it could pass you by. Don’t let it!
Review: SHUCKED Pops at Broadwaysf's Curran Theatre
by Linda Hodges - Sep 10, 2025
SHUCKED opened last night at BroadwaySF’s Curran Theatre and let me just say—the show popped! The story begins in the idyllic and insulated, corn-reliant town of Cob County, where a wedding is about to take place—until the corn suddenly begins to wither, threatening the town’s very existence.

Review: Go Ahead and Get SHUCKED at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Jun 26, 2025
One would think a musical all about corn would be a one-trick pony with the same tired joke made again and again. Corny jokes about corny people in a corny town. That’s exactly what SHUCKED wants the audience to expect. The very first song, aptly titled “Corn,” extols the virtues of the vegetable, the expected jokes about how it can be used for anything and everything, and how this little town in the middle of nowhere relies so heavily on it that it literally becomes their entire identity. However, hidden within this opening number also lies the subversive nature of the musical itself. This is not just a celebration for all things corn. Rather, it’s a commentary on how small towns in this country suffer from preconceived notions of backwards values, of tradition over innovation, and of hyper-conservative rural voters who nowhere near as bright as a high noon sun on a summer day.

Review: North American Tour of SHUCKED Serves Up Sweet Corn in Boston
by R. Scott Reedy - Apr 17, 2025
Indeed, when those one-liners and puns are not only corny but all about corn, you just may want to surrender and let the laughs burst like Jiffy Pop, as they are on the North American tour of “Shucked,” the musical being presented by Broadway in Boston at Citizens Opera House now through April 20.
Review: SHUCKED at The Hippodrome
by Timoth David Copney - Apr 2, 2025
Theatre can be illustrative, informative, relevant, educational, emotional, edifying and useful as commentary on current events, past history, and predictive of the future. And sometimes, it’s just a damn funny good time with no redeeming social value whatsoever, and you don’t care because you’re so busy laughing your ass off. The latter is the case with “Shucked.”

Review: SHUCKED at Des Moines Performing Arts
by DC Felton - Feb 1, 2025
It's a rare sight to see a giant inflatable ear of corn in the lobby of Des Moines Performing Arts, or to be offered a show-themed drink. But when a musical about corn comes to Iowa, it's time to pull out all the stops. This is exactly what they've done for 'Shucked,' which premiered Tuesday night at the Civic Center. I went in expecting a hilarious show about corn, and I got that. But I also left with a heartwarming story about community and family, a unique blend that's not to be missed.
