Now casting Equity chorus singers for the Broadway touring production of SHUCKED. Shucked is a 2022 musical with music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and a book by Robert Horn. The Broadway production began previews at the Nederlander Theatre on March 8, 2023, before opening on April 4. The show received positive reviews and went on to receive nine nominations at the 76th Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
SYNOPSIS: What do you get when you pair a semi-neurotic, New York comedy writer with two music superstars from Nashville? A hilarious and audacious farm-to-fable musical about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of: corn. SHUCKED is the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life. With an outrageously funny book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn, an irresistible score by Grammy Award winning songwriting team of Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and direction by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, SHUCKED is about to turn North America on its ear and offer a kernel of hope for our divided nation.
