"Shucked" brings a taste of country to Broadway and surprises audiences.

Shucked, a new original Broadway musical, is a campy, corny nod to past favorites with a parable about a small rural town in the midwest. The music is decidedly show tune with occasional twangy pronunciations and melodies that recall modern country pop. The cast's comedic timing is near universally excellent, though the humor is base-aiming. The marketing campaign has kept details deliberately vague, emphasizing the show's corniness and country motif.
