Get “Shucked” on Broadway and thank us later.
“Shucked” ahead of opening night, calling it “the best new musical of the Broadway season so far” awarding the show 3.5 out of 4 stars.seen nearly 140 Broadway shows in my lifetime — and I wholeheartedly agree.
While the jokes are evenly distributed throughout the show, Henson and Cahoon get the best ones — by act two, you’ll find yourself anticipating a new dad joke or corn pun every time they open their mouths, and running comedic bits that their characters have never really get old. Newell steals the show, though, with “Independently Owned,” an electrifying and unexpectedly jazzy number halfway through the first act. The song is great on its own, but Newell’s belting to the rafters fills the entire theater. At the performance I saw, people gave them a mid-show standing ovation.
“Shucked” is currrently playing at the Nederlander Theatre, on 41st St. just off 7th Ave. The theater, which first opened in 1921 has a total capacity of 1,235 seats split between orchestra and mezzanine sections.
