Corn, Comedy, and Controlled Chaos: Maya Lagerstam Talks SHUCKED
Friday, 16 January, 2026

This week, we’re joined by Maya Lagerstam from the National Tour of SHUCKED, the corn-fed, corn-bred musical comedy everyone’s stalkin’ about. Fresh off Broadway and headed to The Stranahan (Jan. 20–25, 2026), SHUCKED is the laugh-out-loud, country-fueled musical critics can’t stop raving about.With a score by Grammy Award–winning hitmakers Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally (yes, the minds behind Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow”), SHUCKED blends sharp New York comedy with Nashville swagger to create something totally original. We talk with Maya about life on the road, what makes this show hit so hard with audiences, and why a musical about corn somehow manages to be hilarious, heartfelt, and surprisingly hopeful.Called “more hilarious than any show since The Book of Mormon” and “totally original, unexpected, and brilliant,” SHUCKED is turning musical theater on its ear, one perfectly timed punchline at a time. If you love big laughs, great music, and shows that don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode (and this musical) is for you.SHUCKED plays The Stranahan Jan. 20–25, 2026. Tickets available now.
