The show closed on Broadway after 327 regular and 28 preview performances (https://www.playbill.com/production/shucked-broadway-nederlander-theatre-2023). A U.S. tour, West End production, and feature film adaptation are currently planned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shucked).
Synopsis from Playbill.com: "What do you get when you pair a semi-neurotic, New York comedy writer with two music superstars from Nashville? A hilarious and audacious farm-to-fable musical about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of: corn. Shucked is the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life. Shucked is about to turn Broadway on its ear and offer a kernel of hope for our divided nation." (https://www.playbill.com/production/shucked-broadway-nederlander-theatre-2023)
