Puns grow knee-high – and in bawdier moments a bit higher – in Shucked, the new musical comedy that combines the winking hayseed humor of Green Acres and Hee Haw with the decidedly urba…
and Theatre-A-Go!-Go!’sThe musical comes by its unlikely spiritual DNA honestly, or however it can, through the combined and disparate talents of book writer Robert Horn and composers Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally., and has written for Dame Edna,, Bette Midler and RuPaul. Clark and McAnally have stacked up a big barnful of CMA Awards, Grammys and country music hits.
When some sort of blight causes corn kernels to shrivel and stalks to wither, a plucky bride-to-be named Maizy – she was named, naturally, after…her grandmother – determines to postpone the nuptials to her childhood beau to seek out the crop-growin’ expertise she’s certain she’ll find in big city Tampa .Maizy soon falls sway to a slick-talking, debt-ridden podiatrist named Gordy Jackson . If you suspect Maizy might be confused by the podiatrist’s folksy “Corn Doctor” sign, you’d be right.
Once back home, the lovestruck Maizy and her newfound golddigger run afoul of the townies skeptical of city slicker ways, most notably the stubborn Beau and Maizy’s loving but no-nonsense, whiskey-making cousin Lulu . Before long there will be no end of farcical duplicity – of both the romantic and fortune-hunting varieties – with lovestruck, tangled, all’s well that ends well pairings as sure to come as next spring’s crop.
