Shucked at Ohio Theatre

Enjoy an entertaining evening when you see Shucked at Ohio Theatre for a performance on Thursday 9th April 2026. This sensational show involves two lively storytellers recounting the tale of Beau, Maizy, and other characters in their corn-producing town in Cob County. Experience this charming world that explores subjects of love, friendship, and community with a layers of wit.

Shucked has entertained thousands since making its debut 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 renowned singer Reba McEntire serving as its spokesperson during the promotion. Glowing reviews would drive audience motivation further, quickly making Shucked one of Broadway's most celebrated new musicals. 

Publications like The New York Post, Variety, and Deadline praise the show's comedic elements and guarantee that audience members will have a great time. Acclaim for the Broadway show continued at the 2023 Tony Awards where the musical snagged nine nominations and took home a win in the Best Actor category for Alex Newell, who made history as one of the first non-binary performers to win such an award. 

The nuanced characters give the show heart but it's the show's music that makes every performance memorable. 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 main musical duo behind Shucked's soundtrack. The majority of songs in the show features a signature country sound, which is unsurprising given Clark and McAnally's previous work. 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 delightfully quirky plot, captivating music, and plenty of energy, Shucked is one Broadway show you need to see before it's too late. Tickets for Ohio Theatre's upcoming performance on Thursday 9th April 2026 start at $22 but won't be available forever. Mark your calendar to see Shucked in Columbus and see why audiences can't get enough of this musical!
