  its theatrical dominance\, Broadway has been associated with affluent urb
 anites. The core demographic of Broadway musicals was white middle- and up
 per-class denizens of New York City. Creators\, performers and executives 
 working on Broadway have always recognized musical theater as a commercial
  medium and worked to appeal &ndash\; at least on some level &ndash\; to t
 hat core demographic.</p>\n<p><a href="https://www.playhousesquare.org/eve
 nts/detail/shucked"><em>Shucked</em></a> works to expand the demographic o
 f Broadway across class\, geographical and racial boundaries. Featuring a 
 score hovering between country/western\, folk and blues\, <em>Shucked</em>
 &rsquo\;s score frequently displays self-awareness of the disparity betwee
 n the onstage events and personae\, and the events and personae we would n
 ormally expect to see on a Broadway stage.</p>\n<p>Refusing to descend int
 o mockery of marginalized populations\, the music of <em>Shucked</em> play
 s with Broadway audiences&rsquo\; preconceived notions about what those po
 pulations sound like while giving those populations a modern voice. In thi
 s program\, we discuss the score of <em>Shucked</em>\, its composer&rsquo\
 ;s musical inspirations and how the musical as a whole subverts traditiona
 l Broadway conventions.</p>\n<p>Registration is requested. Register here o
