The New York Times
April 4th, 2023

“Just don’t expect intellectual nourishment; forgive me, I’m breaking my promise, but it’s mostly empty calories you’ll find in this sweet, down-market cornucopia.”

Time Out New York

“The jokes pop like corn on a cast-iron stove in the musical ’Shucked’...Before you know it, you’re gorged to satisfaction on a big, tasty bag of Broadway puff.”

“ ’Shucked’ could never be condemned as theatrical spinach. It’s all about laughs, and it delivers – honest to cob.”

“Those looking for silly, sweet and salty escapism will only be too happy to get ‘Shucked.’”

The Observer
April 5th, 2023

“...there’s much to enjoy—even as the fun wears thin as corn silk...Shorn from its earwormy songs and bubbly ensemble, ‘Shucked’ tends to fade. Unlike the corn you ate the night before, it doesn’t stick around to remind you.”
