“Corn, yes, we said corn,
Just as sure as the day that you were born.”

The Tony Award-winning musical Shucked makes its highly anticipated UK debut at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre for a limited five-week run. The show boasts a book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn (Tootsie), a score from Grammy Award-winning duo Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and direction from Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray). This delightful, corn-themed American musical is sure to please!

As Maizy and Beau prepare for their wedding, their small community faces a crisis when the corn that protects them begins to wither. In search of answers, who will dare to venture beyond the borders of Cob County? Featuring standout songs like “Woman of the World,” “Somebody Will,” and “Independently Owned,” this Broadway sensation tells the story of an unlikely hero, a cunning con artist, and a battle for the heart and soil of a small town—an experience not to be missed.

Presented in association with Mike Bosner, Jason Owen, AEG Presents/Jay Marciano, and Michael Harrison.
