Shucked was something of a surprise hit when it opened on Broadway in 2023. But this “corny” musical soon developed a loyal following, thanks in large part to the toe-tapping score created by Nashville’s own Grammy Award-winning songwriting team Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. The hometown crowd might have been a bit preoccupied when the national touring production finally arrived at TPAC in November — the same day as the 2024 presidential election. With goofy characters, homespun humor and a resounding message of kindness, acceptance and unity, Shucked provided a fun (and much-needed!) escape.
