Are you ready to get shucked?

Broadway's Shucked officially opened at the Nederlander Theatre April 4. In celebration, Playbill tested the shucking skills of the show's cast, creative team, and esteemed guests. Who could shuck corn faster: a member of Shucked or a red carpet celebrity? The challenge was simple: Whoever could shuck a single ear of corn the fastest wins for their team!

Everyone from Kristin Chenoweth to Tariq the Corn Kid tried their hand, with a variety of shucking techniques on display for the red carpet.

The farm-fresh musical comedy proved to be a buzzy opening night ticket, with country music star Kasey Musgraves, comedy icon Rachel Dratch, and plenty of Broadway stalwarts showing up in support. Read more of Playbill's coverage from Shucked's opening night here.

Shucked takes place in Cobb County where the population is small and the corn fields are endless. But trouble occurs when the corn crop starts dying and young Maizy (Caroline Innerbichler) must travel outside her town to find help.

The new musical features a book by Tony winner Robert Horn (Tootsie, 13) and a score by Grammy-winning Nashville-based duo Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. Three-time Tony winner Jack O'Brien (Hairspray, The Front Page) is at the helm.

Shucked stars 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.
