9 / 10
“Shucked” doesn’t necessarily do any ground-breaking here. You have seen this plot before but the spectacular voices, great humor, and message about love (‘Maybe Love”) offer a joyous and hopeful respite from the challenges of the real world.

One reason SHUCKED has been so well received is its masterful balance of tone. Don’t get me wrong, this musical is rife with corny jokes and clever puns and random, pithy asides up the wazoo. It’s an intentionally funny musical with jokes running a mile a minute. However, the knee-slapping comedy of this musical never comes with that wink and a nod that is a tired old sitcom’s bread and butter. The comedy comes mainly from every character playing the straight man. To them, in their world, and in the context of their conversations, nothing is funny. It’s high stakes drama, it’s soap operatic relationship twists, it’s heavy themes of how fear of change creates tradition. And yet, the libretto makes it hilarious. It’s up to the audience to decide what’s funny and what isn’t, not the characters on the stage. As a result, every winning line is earned because it’s not just done for a cheap joke and an easy laugh. The comedy helps serve the story as much as the songs do.
Quinn VanAntwerp and Mackenzie Bell exclusively tell BroadwayWorld how they made touring with 'Shucked' a family affair.
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).
