'Shucked' Takes Broadway by Storm with Corny Delight.

Shucked, a musical about corn, has become a viral hit on Broadway despite not being based on any existing IP or featuring any big-name actors. The show's marketing campaign relied heavily on mystery and humor, with dirt-cheap preview tickets and jokey ads plastered across subway stations. The musical is full of puns, wordplay, and non sequiturs, and the audience is always onboard by the end of the opening number. Shucked is the only show on Broadway where you can choose from a menu of drinks with names like “Chilled Gin of the Corn” and “Honk If You’re Corny” and pair those with your choice of corn nuts, candy corn, or popcorn.
