This rip roaring comedy epic, directed by Barnie Duncan, comes to Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time. Two actors, one musician, 40+ characters, and 60 minutes.
An immersive celebration of dance, theatre, and spectacle—where dazzling characters, bold costumes, and playful chaos collide in a vibrant, surreal world brimming with energy, surprise, and pure entertainment.
Things just got personnel. Dick and his band of generic employees are back. It’s time to restructure - ahem, again - with a completely new show of riotous musical sketch-comedy from the team that brought you the runaway 2024 hit, H.R. The Musical.
