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.
At the closing performance of SHUCKED on Broadway, Mike Bosner, a lead producer of the show took to the mic to share an 'army of thank yous' to everyone involved with the show.

Shucked made history as the first Broadway production to perform on The Kelly Clarkson Show this week. Their performance of 'We Love Jesus' came after the first installment of Broadway in 6A.
