Made with a sincere love for Frank Herbert’s epic book series (or, well, actually the movies), Dune! The Dunesical (The Unauthorized 4D “Muad’Dib” Experience) - Part 1 is a parody musical for everyone from musical theater fans and Dune-heads to musical cynics and Dune haters. Written by one Letterboxd-obsessed man and one brave woman, Dune! The Dunesical mixes campy musical theater, raunchy fanfic, and confusing hardcore sci-fi no one actually understands into one endlessly hilarious experience.

Cast:
Tasha Berol, TJ Canlon, Blake Du Bois, Lauren Horgan, Kenny Lee, Katherine McKinney, Willy Nelson, Danny Ritz, Robbie Shields, Morgan Smith
