The Cast
The cast includes Canada’s own Danielle Wade, who rose to prominence soon after receiving a BFA from the University of Windsor as the winner of CBC TV’s casting reality show Over the Rainbow and then went on to star as Dorothy in North American premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production of The Wizard of Oz at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre and on tour across North America. That led to a starring role at the Stratford Festival and other theatres across Canada. She made her Broadway debut in Mean Girls. She also played Cady in the Mean Girls National Tour. In Shucked she stars as Maizy.
Shucked’s principals include Miki Abraham (Shucked on Broadway) as Lulu, Nick Bailey (Waitress) as Beau, Maya Lagerstam (The Gospel According to Heather) as Storyteller 1, Joe Moeller (& Juliet) as Storyteller 2, Mike Nappi (Darling Grenadine) as Peanut, and Quinn VanAntwerp (Shucked on Broadway) as Gordy.
The cast also includes Elijah Caldwell, Carly Caviglia, Zach Cossman, Cecily Dionne Davis, Jaden Dominique, Ryan Fitzgerald, Sean Casey Flanagan, Dominique Kent, Nick Raynor, Celeste Rose, Kyle Sherman and Mallorie Sievert.
About Shucked
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 turning musical theater on its ear and is offering a kernel of hope for our divided nation.
The Creative Team
Shucked features a “superb book” (New York Post) by Tony Award winner Robert Horn, a score filled with “earworm songs” (The Daily Beast) by Grammy Award winners, Tony Award nominees and Nashville music superstars Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and direction with “an infectious spirit of glee and warmth” (Variety) by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien.
With choreography by Sarah O’Gleby, and music supervision, music direction, orchestrations, and arrangements by 2023 Tony Award, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominee Jason Howland, the design team for Shucked includes 2023 Tony Award nominee and Tony Award winner Scott Pask (scenic design), 2023 Drama Desk Award nominee Tilly Grimes (costume design), Tony Award nominee Japhy Weideman (lighting design), Tony Award winner and 2023 Drama Desk Award nominee John Shivers (sound design), Academy Award® winner and Emmy Award® winner Mia Neal (wig design), and Stephen Kopel, C12 Casting (casting director). Shucked is produced by Mike Bosner and Jason Owen.
