At the star-studded opening night of Broadway's newest musical Shucked, Broadway performers, country stars, and other theatre favorites had their portraits taken in a flurry of corn confetti...and if you're thinking we mean corn shaped confetti, no. We mean actual corn confetti. To name just a few of the VIPs featured in the a-maize-ing shots: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jennifer Nettles, Kelsea Ballerini, Rachel Dratch, and of course, stars of Shucked. See the photos below.
The musical officially opened at the Nederlander Theatre on April 4 after beginning previews on March 8. The new musical stars Caroline Innerbichler as Maizy, Alex Newell as Lulu, John Behlmann as Gordy, Kevin Cahoon as Peanut, Andrew Durand as Beau, Ashley D. Kelley as Storyteller 1, and Grey Henson as Storyteller 2.
They're joined by an ensemble comprising Jimmy Brewer, Audrey Cardwell, Dwayne Clark, Rheaume Crenshaw, Jaygee Macapugay, Scott Stangland, Yasmeen Sulieman, and Quinn VanAntwerp, rounded out by swings Miki Abraham, Ken Wulf Clark, Traci Elaine Lee, and Alan Wiggins.
