See Shucked. Broadway in Cincinnati’s current musical comedy is a corn-fed, joke-stuffed, gosh darn delight from first note to final bow.

This show is bright, silly, and refreshingly unpretentious. The colors pop, the songs are easy to follow, and the story doesn’t ask you to work too hard.

The production keeps the audience leaning in and at the edge of their seats, with Wiggins embodying a cast of multitudes and inviting us into a story that unfolds deliberately, poetically, and, by the end, collectively.
