Get ready for musical comedy earworms that aren’t safe for work. “Dicks: The Musical,” indie distributor A24’s first-ever musical comedy, is coming to theaters Sept. 29 — and its first trailer previews hilariously absurd performances from Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, Bowen Yang, Megan Thee Stallion and creative duo Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, who also wrote the script and book.

As announced Thursday, “Dicks” — renamed from original title “F***ing Identical Twins” — will make its World Premiere as the opening night film of Midnight Madness at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The official synopsis of the release reads: “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 also starring Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane,...
