"...The humor, at once simple and clever, innocent and off-color, amiably wants to get a rise, and Horn isn't too proud to go low in his genial wordplay. Peanut (Mike Nappi), Beau's kindhearted, witless brother, is a geyser of potty-minded quips. "I just passed a huge squirrel, which is odd because I don't remember eating one," he tells his brother, who merely asked, "What's going on?""

"...Corn puns are like tequila shots. A few will make you smile and loosen you up, but by the time you are ten or twelve deep you start to wonder how you got here and whether you should call a cab. The national tour of Shucked, now playing at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, pours them out by the gallon and dares you not to laugh. The jokes arrive so quickly you start to suspect there is a hidden cornfield of writers backstage tossing them forward like ears into a harvester. Some land perfectly and make you laugh in spite of yourself. Others stumble out with such awkward charm that the groan is part of the fun. A handful might make you wonder whether the script has been secretly sponsored by the American Corn Growers Association."

"...Corn is king in Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally, and Robert Horn’s Shucked, the most hee-haw-larious musical comedy Broadway has seen in years, and as tuneful and heart-filled and downright original as a feel-good musical can get."

"...This is a long way of saying that the traveling production of this corn-fed musical, currently at the Hollywood Pantages, is a delightfully funny, clever and energetic romp, accentuated by songs (music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally) that nicely capture the book's (Robert Horn) charm. Director Jack O'Brien cultivates the show's sparkle with lively staging, and simple but effective choreography by Sarah O'gleby adds a level of energy to the production."

"...Now the national tour of the unabashedly bucolic musical Shucked, currently in residence at the Pantages, has once again challenged my usual lack of enthusiasm for my least favorite genre of theatrical benefactions. Shucked immediately felt like Oklahoma! meets Hee-Haw with some blatant Music Man ripoffs thrown in, but somehow I loved it despite it being about as sophisticated as an expanded Minnie Pearl routine."

"...It's got the juice! Broadway's corniest musical SHUCKED has arrived in Hollywood at the Pantages Theatre. Originally inspired by the American television variety show Hee Haw, this "farm-to-fable" comedy takes place in the fictional fields of Cob County: a tightknit rural community surrounded by a mythical wall of corn that none of the residents have ever ventured outside of."
