Dick: The Musical Follows Two Self-Obsessed Businessmen Who Discover They’re Long-Lost Identical Twins

Directed by Larry Charles and based on the off-Broadway musical by Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, Dicks: The Musical hails from the producers behind the 2017 musical smash-hit The Greatest Showman, with Larry Charles best known for the likes of Borat, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Seinfeld. You can check out the official synopsis for Dicks: The Musical below:

“Two self-obsessed businessmen (writers/stars Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp) discover they’re long-lost identical twins and come together to plot the reunion of their eccentric divorced parents, in this riotously funny and depraved musical from comedy icon Larry Charles (SEINFELD, BORAT) also starring Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, and Bowen Yang as God.”

Dicks: The Musical brings together a stellar cast, including Tony Award winner Nathan Lane (The Producers, Beau Is Afraid), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Percy Jackson and the Olympians), Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live, Bros), Grammy Award-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Aaron Jackson (National Lampoon Radio Hour), and Josh Sharp (Search Party).

Dicks: The Musical premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival back in September where it was met with rave reviews from several critics. “The songs are legitimate toe-tappers,” says Vanity Fair, with Variety praising the comedy as “raucous, deliriously madcap.”

Collider meanwhile says, “With Broadway-style dancing and a cast of eccentric characters, the film’s tantalizing premise guarantees a musical unlike any other.”

MovieWeb’s own Jericho Tadeo calls Dicks: The Musical an “An Unapologetically Gay Movie” and praises writers and stars Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson.

“Sharp and Jackson write like they have nothing to lose, aiming for the darkest or boldest punchline and, frankly, hitting every bullseye. No stranger to transgressive material, Charles’ direction here is masterful, at once leaning into the artifice of the movie’s world while never losing sight of the tender, more heartfelt moments between its characters.”

Dicks: The Musical was released in theaters on October 6, 2023, with Dicks: The Musical: The Sing-A-Long set to be released for a limited time on Friday, October 27.
