Review: ‘Shucked’ National Tour — A Musical Feast of Puns and Groaners
7 / 10
Admittedly, that plot is as thin as cornsilk. Fortunately, the story is glued together by two “Storytellers” (Tyler Joseph Ellis and Maya Lagerstam) who act as narrators by filling in plot details for the audience and imparting a really strong presentational energy. They and the excellent ensemble get the show off to a really decent start with “Corn,” a cleverly choreographed number (choreographer Sarah O’Gleby) that is a visual and performance beauty.
SHUCKED: CORNY FUN
7 / 10
he music isn’t amazing, but Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally’s lyrics are hilarious. Most of the songs are upbeat and fun Broadway ensemble numbers. Danielle Wade as Maizy has a strong voice and leads in many of them, “Travelin’ Song” being my favorite of hers. The two songs that left the greatest impression on my husband and I were “Somebody Will,” and “Independently Owned.” The first song feels like a familiar country breakup song (Beau is reacting to his break up with Maizy), showing off Jake Odmark’s superb Broadway voice. The second song is sung by Lulu, displaying her independent spirit. Abraham’s voice is fabulous and the catchy song has gotten stuck in my head. The choreography mainly focuses on the comedy elements of the show (such as a corncob kickline) and is good. Everyone is well cast.
