Maya Lagerstam and Tyler Joseph Ellis Join SHUCKED National Tour

Maya Lagerstam and Tyler Joseph Ellis have been announced to join the national tour of Shucked as Storytellers. They join the previously announced Danielle Wade as Maizy and Mike Nappi as Peanut. Additional casting will be announced soon.

Shucked will embark on a North American tour this fall. The tour will be technical and will begin performances at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Rhode Island, and will play more than 30 cities in its first season, including Atlanta, Austin, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Durham, East Lansing, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Houston, Los Angeles, Madison, Nashville, Orlando, San Antonio, Schenectady, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., Tampa and more.

Shucked features a book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn, music by Grammy Award winners, Tony Award nominees and Nashville music stars Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and direction by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien. Casting for the tour will be announced at a later date.

What do you get when you combine a semi-neurotic New York comedy writer with two Nashville music stars? A funny and irreverent farm-to-table musical about the one thing Americans everywhere can’t get enough of: corn. Shucked is a new musical comedy that argues that sometimes tearing down a few walls, instead of building them up, is the only way to preserve our way of life. Shucked turns musical theater on its head and offers a seed of hope for our divided nation.
