Karl Saint Lucy & Marius de Vries On The Songs & Music Of Dicks: The Musical

Dicks: The Musical is somehow even more wild than its name implies, making A24’s first musical feel like a big swing for the production company. It’s a gamble that audiences will likely be glad A24 took; what began roughly a decade ago as a musical performed in a cramped Upright Citizens Brigade theater in Manhattan has morphed into a film that aims for the heart as much as humor. The movie was written by Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp–also its stars and the creators of the UCB musical–and directed by Larry Charles (Borat).
