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).

TOOTSIE at TEATRO SISTINA? UN GRADITO ANCHE IN QUESTA STAGIONE DEL MUSICAL TRATTO DAL CELEBRE FILM CON DUSTIN HOFFMAN

Dopo il grande successo di pubblico e critica ottenuto nel Tour della scorsa Stagione, torna in scena nei teatri italiani 'Tootsie', il Musical firmato e adattato in italiano da Massimo Romeo Piparo tratto dal famoso film del 1982 di Sydney Pollack con l'indimenticabile interpretazione di Dustin Hoffman.

Quinn Van Antwerp currently stars as Gordy in this hilarious, but corny, Tony Award-winning musical “SHUCKED” hitting the Orpheum stage January 13-18. Quinn is a veteran of stage and screen, having performed in productions such as THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG and more than 3,000 shows of JERSEY BOYS as Bob Gaudio.

Dopo il grande successo di pubblico e critica ottenuto nel Tour della scorsa Stagione, torna in scena al Sistina, dal 22 gennaio al 1 febbraio, “Tootsie”, il Musical firmato e adattato in italiano da Massimo Romeo Piparo tratto dal famoso film del 1982 di Sydney Pollack con l’indimenticabile interpretazione di Dustin Hoffman. 

At first glance, Shucked doesn’t seem like a show that should work. A Broadway musical about corn, packed with puns and country music, sounds like it might wear thin fast. But during its stop at the Orpheum Theatre, this touring production proves that beneath the dad jokes and folksy charm is a surprisingly smart and generous piece of musical theatre.
