"Shucked": Broadway, country music and corn

[@kidfmnyc]

I don't care for musicals, but have seen it twice & am going again this week!

[@fbueller]

You have been converted

[@lynnern57]

You have really been Shucked!

[@MattChance]

Shucked reminds me of Parks and Rec with how non-stop the perfectly timed jokes and puns come at the expense of a small town and its inhabitants. It would be nothing without the amazing songs in between, which aren’t really completely Bright Star country-fied as this would have you believe. It’s rare to have a show surprise you, and none can do that better than a completely original story like Shucked.

Alex Newell's performance of Independently Owned knocks my socks off. I hope the show does well.

[@stacyc4287]

Saw it yesterday and we laughed from start to finish. Loved it.

[@bluelv]

I saw it last week. Some of the songs were just wonderful. The two female leads are just amazing!

[@Krillinish2]

Just saw it tonight. It’s amaizing.

[@explodingmangos3416]

Alex isn’t a female but they do a great job playing one!

[@ChristieHelene]

Just went today and it was fantastic. Broadway at its finest!

[@RiseBurstSparkleFade]

This was such a fun and wonderful show! Saw it in previews a few weeks ago and loved it! Very touching in between all the punny jokes.

[@explodingmangos3416]

So proud to say that Caroline grew up in MN. I’ve seen her in so many shows growing up and didn’t even realize it until I read the playbill!

[@emilyu3483]

We saw this Saturday and laughed and laughed and laughed. Fun show and love the country music!

[@prestonnorris9822]

Can't Wait to see this...I pray it tours eventually 🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💙

[@gabrielam3625]

I love Alex! glad they are in this musical.

[@romstar]

That Alex Newell can sang! 😂🎉❤😅

[@mp3holder94]

I saw it and i absolutely LOVED It!!!!!!! 10/10

[@gracebonifabulous]

I have no idea why I started crying in the middle of that, but here I am...

[@Krillinish2]

Just saw it tonight. It’s amaizing.

[@Aaron_J_Theater]

I saw this on the first preview back in Utah where it debuted and I have to say this show alone makes me wish I could move to NYC just to see it again!

[@ckortney]

Yes!! I also saw it in Utah (twice) and I want to be in NYC so badly right now.

[@khamikins]

take a weekend trip babe

[@RobRVA]

I saw it today, its FANTASTIC!

[@Knottyp1ne]

omg I had no idea they did a try out in Utah

[@lynnern57]

Just saw this in previews 3 nights ago. So funny and well written. Just a whole lotta fun! Highly recommend! 🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@JDHorn]

Saw it. Loved it. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

[@Stiivun]

I hope they invited that kid that likes corn.

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

They did! You can watch clips of Tariq doing interviews on opening night as the official "Corn-esspondent." 💛

[@lindakahler4799]

Saw it in previews loved it

[@frankennyg1]

Got my tix for June and CAN'T wait!!!

[@Karen-q4r]

Saw the corn cob and thought “ this looks fun”. Well, it was hilarious. If you liked Greater Tuna and other quick-witted shows, you’ll love every minute of this. We were sorry it ended. Planning another trip to NYC to see it again.

[@christiang.r.siordia1775]

BEST SHOW I'VE SEEN THIS SEAON.

[@woodrowwildcat3286]

Saw it tonight. Loved it!

[@BCFarbo]

This makes me miss Leslie Jordan even more.

[@JoeGraf]

A FANTASTIC interview 🎉 I’m sold

[@MaxSauberman]

This show was amazing. Hilarious 🌽

[@redtowlie9]

I just saw this musical! Easily in my top 5! Fantastic singing and storytelling

[@maxvanhorn]

Shucked❤️

[@beautyintheskies]

I LOVE Oklahoma! I want to see this haha. Looks great.

[@ryneldcurtis112]

Alex Newell ❤

[@ChazeleyesJ]

I got to make it to NYC to see this

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Ok this looks cute. As someone from this kind of town, it’s nice to see it represented.

[@allisonwalker7208]

CBS and Tracy Smith, you are incorrect in your statement on other country themed Broadway shows. The revival of Annie Get Your Gun was not staring Reba. It was originally Bernadette Peters. Reba replaced her later in the run. However the show was more successful and better with Reba in the show! (Bernadette was good but it was made for Reba!)

[@jc22358]

Musicals are gestated. Some shows take decades to see daylight. I'm not surprised that the creators feel like they're watching their child growing up and coming into its' own.

[@broadwaymike92]

This is seriously if OKLAHOMA and WAITRESS had a baby, SHUCKED is their child!!!

[@frankhardin8124]

This is why I never miss my Sunday. MORNING.

[@nimeshsingh4943]

"Country music is the closest thing, other than Broadway, to Broadway" uhm bro what 😂😂 I know getting the lead is a big deal and all but you don't have to go this far

[@lewstone5430]

Michael Scott: *NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!*

[@sidv192]

nothing seems sacred to these ultra modern heathen

[@tananario]

Then don’t go. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@multicaruana]

I wish the show well, but this is definitely NOT country music but rather tin pan alley. If one expects to hear bluegrass music or banjos, mandolins, fiddles and acoustic guitars at work one will be disappointed.

[@CD-gb5he]

From what I've heard thus far, some songs should be categorized as indie folk, while others sound like your standard musical number.

[@multicaruana]

@@CD-gb5he I will take another listen. Whatever I wish them the best, and thank you for your reply to me. Maybe I was too quick to judgement.

[@Celluloidkid]

interesting #theaterkid

[@PTBP-CB]

Americans don't know the meaning of edgey jokes. those are lewd.

[@Reldez_1]

This just looks like a rip-off of the musical A Kernel of Truth.

[@andrejose0423]

it was in development long before that Bojack episode

[@Reldez_1]

@Andrew Jones I'm just joking. But man, the similarities! Lol

[@steveconn]

If they could just give free tickets of Shucked to its ideal audience, the Trump indictment protesters, alot of potential violence could be avoided.

[@BeesBeesBees248]

Yk you’d be suprised, when I saw it it read very liberal :) it’s an incredible show

[@ChienaAvtzon]

What protesters? NYC hates Trump and country music.

[@steveconn]

The ones they're putting 800 cops out for in preparation.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@steveconn - That was for a film set.

[@Erikslair]

Trump will be in town tomorrow to prepare for his arraignment. Security is tight and barricades will be in place along with hundreds of police for the circus. Yes, they were filming outside scenes in the city for ‘The Joker 2’ starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga

🙄

[@sidv192]

should be called SUCKTS

[@chrisstengren8995]

I call cultural appropriation on this musical……

[@lewstone5430]

Bumpkins have no culture.

[@chubbychuckle]

How so? This should be interesting.

[@gregXxo]

Yes, please explain

[@ebybeehoney]

It's CORN
