Shucked sets out to prove that sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life. It’s a wordplay-infused musical comedy about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of—corn—turning musical theater on its ear and offering a kernel of hope for our divided nation.

The show began performances at the Nederlander Theatre on March 8, 2023, opening on April 4, and played its final performance on January 14, 2024. It received nine nominations at the 76th Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
