Shucked at Ohio Theatre

Enjoy an amusing evening when you see Shucked at Ohio Theatre for a performance on Tuesday 7th April 2026. This award-winning musical involves two lively storytellers recounting the tale of Beau, Maizy, and other characters in their corn-producing town in Cob County. Experience this heartfelt world that explores themes like love, friendship, and community with a humorous spin.

Shucked has taken the world by storm since having its opening performance at Salt Lake City's Pioneer Memorial Theatre in 2022. Just one year later, the show made its Broadway debut at the Nederlander Theatre and appealed to wider audiences by having country music superstar Reba McEntire serving as its spokesperson during the promotion. Overwhelmingly positive reviews would boost audience numbers, making Shucked one of Broadway's most celebrated new musicals. 

Official reviews from The New York Post, Variety, and Deadline highlight the show's fun nature and guarantee that theatergoers will have a great time. Acclaim for the Broadway show continued at the 2023 Tony Awards where the musical received nine nominations and scored a win in the Best Actor category for Alex Newell, who set a new precedent as one of the first LGBT performers to win such an award. 

The nuanced characters take center stage but it's the show's music that makes every performance unforgettable. Enjoy some powerhouse performances during scene-setting songs like "Independently Owned," "Maybe Love," and "Travelin' Song."

Renowned songwriters Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark flex their muscles as the creative force behind Shucked's soundtrack. Nearly every song in the show features a signature country sound, which is unsurprising given Clark and McAnally's impressive discography. They have developed successful singles for some of the world's biggest country music artists, including Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, and Keith Urban. 

With a hilarious script, captivating music, and an abundance of energy, Shucked is one Broadway show you won't regret setting aside time to see. Tickets for Ohio Theatre's upcoming performance on Tuesday 7th April 2026 start at $25 but won't be available for long. Mark your calendar to see Shucked in Columbus and see why audiences can't get enough of this musical!
