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.

There’s something of the film Challengers in the pivotal scene of Snap, when an earnest male model and the lecherous photographer he’s working with end up in bed with each other’s partners, and all four actors anxiously sing their way through their tangled professional and personal lives. Thankfully, though, the plot of 2024’s much-discussed ‘tennis throuple’ film did not hinge almost entirely on a typo.

Date night is always a fun time at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse in Little Rock, and from now until May 24, Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies will have you laughing as they deliver a delightful evening of farcical comedy, blending theatrical wit with a tasty dinner that will have you going back for seconds.

Order Chaos Theatre Company’s production of Beth Henley's CRIMES OF THE HEART is earnest in its attempt to capture the play’s bruised heart and tangled humor. However, ultimately, it’s a production that, like its characters, yearns for something more — and, at times, almost gets there.
