As the curtain closed on the comedic musical Shucked’s last Broadway performance on Jan. 14, Producer Mike Bosner announced that the play will become a feature film. “We don’t have to say goodbye just yet. Because I’m happy to announce that we will be making a feature film of Shucked‘” said Bosner during the final curtain call.

According to Variety, Mandalay Pictures will be spearheading the production. Executive Producers of the film are set to be Robert Horn, Jack O’Brien, Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. Horn will also be writing the screenplay adaptation. The producers for the film will be Jason Michael Berman, Jordan Moldo and Alan Fox. No casting plans have been announced yet.

Shucked, which ran at the Nederlander Theatre from April 4, 2023 through Jan. 14, 2024, is a musical about tearing down walls and preserving our way through life. The musical had already previously announced plans to embark on tour starting in the fall, with stops in North America, London and Australia.

The cast is also currently up for a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album at next month’s Grammy Awards. Alex Newell also has nabbed a Tony for Featured Male Performer In A Musical.
