For over sixty years, Pioneer Theatre Company has employed some of the nation’s top theatrical talent. And this spring, a staggering number of our alumni are treading the boards of the Great White Way.
Amidst this celebration of achievements is the sensational production of Shucked, which opened on Broadway in April of this year—only a few months after its world premiere at PTC!
Since opening, Shucked has earned a reputation as an audience favorite. The production has also received a whopping NINE Tony nominations: Best New Musical, Best Direction (Jack O’Brien), Best Book of a Musical (Robert Horn), Best Score (Brandy Clark & Shane McAnally), Best Orchestrations (Jason Howland), Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Scott Pask), Best Sound Design (John Shivers) and two Best Featured Actor, and Actress nominations for Kevin Cahoon (Peanut), and Alex Newell (Lulu) respectively.
