New York, NY (April 14, 2023) – Today, Sony Masterworks Broadway, along with show producers Mike Bosner and Jason Owen, released “Somebody Will,” the second single from the forthcoming Shucked – Original Broadway Cast Recording. Featuring Andrew Durand, the musical’s “stellar voiced” (New York Post) leading man, the song, penned by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, has been hailed as a “bracingly fierce” and “a standout” (The Daily Beast). A video of Durand singing “Somebody Will” is available HERE.
The Shucked – Original Broadway Cast Recording, produced by Jason Howland, Billy Jay Stein, McAnally, and Clark, is set for digital release on Friday, May 5 and on CD on Friday, June 9. The CD is available for preorder HERE.
Shucked opened last week to rave reviews at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street).
“Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, maybe two of the best songwriters to ever come out of Nashville, have crafted a witty score for this riotous production, but on a more emotional level, they have crafted a score with three numbers that clearly count as show-stoppers — and a ballad, about a friendship between two female characters, that had people weeping by the end of the number.”
– Variety
Other critics have called Shucked, “the best and funniest new musical on Broadway (New York Post), “a timely new musical with more gags than every other current Broadway show put together,” (New York Daily News), and simply “you’ll love it!” (New York Magazine).
Shucked, with book by Tony Award® winner Robert Horn, music and lyrics by Clark and McAnally, and direction by three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien, stars (in alphabetical order) John Behlmann, Kevin Cahoon, Durand, Tony Award nominee Grey Henson, Caroline Innerbichler, Ashley D. Kelley, and Alex Newell.
The ensemble of Shucked features Jimmy Brewer, Audrey Cardwell, Dwayne Clark, Rheaume Crenshaw, Jaygee Macapugay, Scott Stangland, Yasmeen Sulieman, and Quinn VanAntwerp. The swings are Miki Abraham, Ken Wulf Clark, Traci Elaine Lee, and Alan Wiggins.

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 about to turn Broadway on its ear and offer a kernel of hope for our divided nation.
With choreography by Sarah O’Gleby, and music supervision, music direction, orchestrations, and arrangements by Tony Award nominee Jason Howland, the design team for Shucked includes Tony Award winner Scott Pask (scenic design), Drama Desk Award® nominee Tilly Grimes (costume design), Tony Award nominee Japhy Weideman (lighting design), Tony Award winner John Shivers (sound design), Academy Award® winner and Emmy Award® winner Mia Neal (wig design), and Stephen Kopel, C12 Casting (casting director).
