As narrated by two random onlookers , “Shucked” observes how a rural Georgia community is threatened by a sudden inability to grow corn, leading the heroine to leave her pouty fiancé and travel to Tampa, where she mistakes a “corn doctor” podiatrist for a “corn doctor” vegetable healer, which the desperate guy goes along with under the mistaken belief that the corn is surrounded by extremely valuable stones.
The book also relies on having Kevin Cahoon chime in with irrelevant oddball musings, such as “I just passed a huge squirrel, which is odd, because I don’t remember eating one” and “I never understood why they were called chicken tenders until I let one caress my face.” These lines might not make you laugh but can at least appreciate the crafty wordplay and shamelessness of the body humor.
The standout of the cast is Alex Newell , who brings down the house with roof-raising vocals and sassy strutting in a supporting role, so much so that one longs to see Newell play Effie in “Dreamgirls.”
