Shucked @ Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre…

 Marcus and had a fab afternoon today watching musical Shucked at the glitzy @RegentsParkOAT 


The show is a pun-packed winner - truly a‑maize‑ing! It’s barnstormer of country‑corn humour & foot‑stomping tunes. 🌽


Sophie McShera’s Maizy is sweet enough to butter your popcorn, Ben Joyce’s Beau rocks a mullet & a heart‑on‑his-sleeve ballad “Somebody Will,” & Georgina Onuorah as Lulu absolutely kills it with “Independently Owned” — it’d rip roof off if there was one.


Keith Ramsay’s Peanut is deadpan philosopher, dropping gems like, “Politicians & diapers should be changed regularly — for same reason.”  


Jack O’Brien’s direction (and that wonky barn!) leans into cornball charm in best possible way. It’s silly, spirited, & cob‑solutely delightful. 🌽


My favourite line - “This isn’t an argument — I’m right & you’re just saying stuff.”
