The Broadway production began previews at the Nederlander Theatre on March 8, 2023, before opening on April 4.

While Beau's brother, Peanut, is officiating the wedding, the town's corn suddenly begins to die.

Unaware of what that actually means, she decides to meet the doctor, a man named Gordy ("Travelin' Song").

Gordy comes from a family of conmen, but is not great at the job ("Bad"); currently, he is in debt to some members of the mob (played by the storytellers).

Gordy notices a bracelet that Maizy is wearing, which he takes to have appraised by the jewelers (also played by the storytellers), who say that the stones are incredibly valuable.

Although shocked by her eagerness to cheat on Beau, she delights in her ability to save the corn ("Woman of the World").

Maizy takes Gordy back to Cob County, where Beau is angered at her decision to go to Tampa.

Lulu and Beau advise Gordy and Maizy, respectively, to pretend that they are the ones they are giving vows to, while the storytellers watch with chagrin ("I Do").

The evening before the wedding, the boys easily manage to get Gordy drunk ("Corn Mix"), and he admits his plan.

Shucked was partially derived from one of Horn's earlier projects, 2015's Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical.

[4] Sources seem to differ on whether Shucked should be considered an evolution of or completely separate from Moonshine, as the only elements remaining from the 2015 show are two songs and that one character is named Lulu.

[8] The show was first performed in 2022 at the Pioneer Memorial Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah from October 28 to November 12, where it received positive reviews.

[11] Advertising for the production was vague and used corn-related puns in order to generate interest, a strategy which seems to have been successful.

[16] Later that year, the show launched a marketing campaign with country singer Reba McEntire as its spokesperson.

The show is scheduled to make its European premiere at London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in Summer 2025.

Casting includes Monique Ashe-Palmer as Storyteller 1, Ben Joyce as Beau, Sophie McShera as Maizy, Georgina Onuorah as Lulu, Kieth Ramsay as Peanut, Matthew Seadon-Young as Gordy, and Steven Webb as Storyteller 2.

[33] It received mixed to negative reviews from The Guardian,[13] The New York Times,[34] Observer,[35] and The Wrap.

Robert Horn will return to pen the screenplay, with Jason Michael Berman, Alan Fox and Jordan Moldo producing.

Horn, Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Jack O’Brien will executive produce along with Sandra Berman and David Zelon.
