There are so many one-liners in “Shucked,” you’ll want to write them down. Don’t – just let the goofiness of the musical wash over you.
Not unlike “Hee Haw” , “Shucked” finds every way to strip a cob – and then some. It’s a virtual “cornucopia” of humor that sprouts when the folks in Cobb County discover their crops are dying. Because the residents are fairly insular, they need someone to go outside their boundaries and find help. Enter: Maizy , who heads to Tampa and discovers a podiatrist who thinks he can help.

Sure, there’s the infectious “We Love Jesus...But We Drink a Little,” but there are also the tender “Maybe Love” and Lulu’s barn-raiser, “Independently Owned.” The plot detassels many times over, prompting director Jack O’Brien to rely on old tricks he devised for other, more linear shows. Like “Urinetown,” there’s a desire to paint most people with the same brush. Like “The Book of Mormon,” there’s a willingness to try a second coat.
