"Shucked" on Broadway: A Corny Comedy Delight
TL;DR Summary
"Shucked," a new Broadway musical about corn, is filled with puns, dad jokes, and double entendres. The story is set in the fictional Cob County, where the locals live in the perfect "hominy" of entrenched dopiness. When the corn starts dying, our plucky heroine seeks help in the great beyond. The musical's book, by Robert Horn, embraces "cornography" and trades on all kinds of trite wisdom and low humor. The show's best song is a barnburner of a feminist anthem called "Independently Owned."
