Death Drop is back, and yes, so are the girls.
Earlier this year some of the drag queens from Rupaul’s Drag Race had audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter in the hilarious ‘Death Drop,’ and now they have reincarnated themselves into a new show called ‘Death Drop Back in the Habit’ now playing at the Garrick Theatre.
‘Death Drop’ had audiences transported to 1991 where guests were killed off one by one at a dinner party. In this new show, the nuns at St. Babs, who are confined to their convent, are also being killed off one by one – there is a serial killer in their midst. However, an unexpected visitor from the Vatican arrives who is there to ‘help them’ but the nuns really don’t know who he is. What is he there for, and who has sent him? It’s a mystery not only to Mother Superior (Victoria Scone), but also to sisters Mary Berry (Cheryl Hole) and Maria Julie Andrews (River Medway) and Sis Titus ((William). And it is a mystery how the first sister (we’re not saying which one) gets killed first. But luckily with a lot of humor (some of it toilet), schtick, crassness and sarcasm (along with some fabulous nun outfits) we get to enjoy, as laugh, as the mystery unfolds itself, in the hopes that the nuns lives will get back to normal and they will get back in the habit.
Bravo to the production team for bringing us another Death Drop in the same year ( yes we’re fortunate to have two in one year)! And thanks to Rupaul for keep on providing us with a non-stop array of talented drag queens from the show. Bring on Death Drop 3!
