Tue., May 20 – Sun., May 25CRITIC’S PICK: Shucked, Fox Theatre — In the midst of a lengthy US tour, this award-winning musical comedy the Wall Street Journal calls “flat out hilarious” is getting a short run at the Fox. With music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally and a book by Robert Horn, the corny caper has been quite a hit on Broadway and is headed to the silver screen. The heroine is Maizy, an unsophisticated farm girl who tries to save her town’s perishing corn crop while planning her wedding. In the process she gets mixed up with some unsavory characters and learns a thing or two.“We wanted it to be a fable, a morality tale, something funny yet moving, simple yet thoughtful, with a wink and an edge,” says Horn. “What is finally on that stage is a story about how we all have the gift of heroism inside us, about learning to open our hearts to those who are different than us.” — Kevin C.
