Megan Thee Stallion. Bowen Yang. Long-lost twins. Estranged parents. Flashy musical numbers. No, this isn’t another pop culture rundown on the Las Cultaristas podcast— it’s the first-ever movie musical (!!) to come from powerhouse production company A24. Appropriately titled Dicks: The Musical, the comedy follows a set of twins as they attempt to reunite their divorced parents, and the cast is packed with star power.
The trailer for the upcoming movie dropped on Thursday, August 3, and honestly...it makes A24’s latest flick look like a good time in a sea of Spring Breakers and Midsommars. So if you’re anything like me and you’ve rewatched the trailer countless times to see what you can piece together about the movie, look no further for more intel! Ahead, I’ve rounded up all the details (yep, everyyy single one) about Dicks: The Musical from its cast to its release date so you no longer have to wonder.
When does Dicks: The Musical come out?
A24’s first movie musical is hitting select theaters on October 6, 2023, which means there’s enough time for it to serve as Halloween costume inspo.
Is there a trailer for Dicks: The Musical?
There sure is! A24 released the trailer for Dicks: The Musical on Thursday, August 3. In it, we see everything from the twins singing penis euphemisms to Megan Thee Stallion making her acting debut.
What is Dicks: The Musical about?
According to A24, the upcoming flick is based on the stage play F***ing Identical Twins: The Musical, and its lyrics and screenplay were adapted by comedians Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp. The official logline for the movie is as follows:
Two self-obsessed businessmen (writers Aaron Jackson and 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).
Essentially, this is the R-rated Parent Trap that I never saw coming (and also never knew I desperately needed?).
Who is in the Dicks: The Musical cast?
Funny you should ask. The movie’s writers, Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, star as the long-lost twins at the center of the film while Megan Thee Stallion makes her silver-screen debut as their boss. SNL’s Bowen Yang takes on the role of God (I’m totally not kidding) while Will & Grace’s Megan Mullally and Only Murders in the Building’s Nathan Lane are also featured in the super-stacked cast as the twins’ estranged parents. 😮💨
Is the soundtrack for Dicks: The Musical released yet?
The full Dicks: The Musical soundtrack album dropped on October 6 along with the film’s release, which means we *finally* get to hear Megan Thee Stallion’s involvement in A24’s first musical film. Meg, who plays the powerful CEO Gloria Masters in the flick, raps about taking control over men in the hilarious anthem, “Out Alpha the Alpha”:
On September 12, the song “All Love Is Love” was released after the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and on September 26, “Gay Old Life” was put out to tease the movie’s release.
