Dear Broadway Fans,
Welcome back to another season of Broadway in Boise at the Morrison Center. It never gets old to see this theatre filled with excitement, and we are so grateful you’re here with us. We are in full swing with the fall season, and the holidays are right around the corner. Every month, there are wonderful events happening at the Morrison Center. Because of you, our stage is alive yearround with music, laughter, and stories that bring us together.
We’re delighted to kick off this Broadway season with Shucked, the Tony Award®-winning musical comedy that proves sometimes the silliest stories carry the sweetest truths. Set in a quirky little town surrounded by cornfields, Shucked follows what happens when the community’s most important crop suddenly starts to fail. With heart, hilarity, and a whole lot of toe-tapping music, the townsfolk discover that love, acceptance, and a willingness to embrace change are what help them truly grow.
And here are a few kernels of fun you might not know:
● Shucked features music and lyrics by Grammy® Award-winning duo Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, two powerhouse songwriters best known for their work in country music.
● Inspired by the down-home humor of the CBS variety show Hee Haw and the playful spirit of vaudeville, the creators set out to craft a Broadway musical that celebrates small towns, big dreamers, and the eccentric yet lovable characters that help define the American story.
● The development and writing process of Shucked was a labor of love that spanned nearly twelve years. Each character, line of dialogue, and musical number was meticulously crafted to create a show that was both funny and soulful.
We couldn’t ask for a better way to begin the season. Thank you for being part of our Morrison Center family and for joining us as we celebrate the power of live theatre. We can’t wait to share this season’s lineup with you—one that promises to be filled with unforgettable moments, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a few more corny surprises.
Enjoy the show!
With gratitude,
Laura Kendall Executive Director, Morrison Center for the Performing Arts
