TORONTO (AP) — You don’t expect to see a movie named “Dicks: The Musical” on the marquee and neither did its makers.
Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, who created and star in “Dicks: The Musical,” certainly struggled to believe it.
But “Dicks: The Musical," a freewheeling queer cult-favorite-to-be, is a gleefully tasteless bid to break free of comedy doldrums.
“People maybe want to go for a bigger laugh but they’re afraid they’re going to offend too many people.
As Jackson and Sharp developed the movie, they carved out the role of God, as narrator, for Yang.
