Drag Race stars delight as Death Drop returns to slay – review
We’re big fans of Death Drop – the hilarious whodunnit, written by Holly Stars, has played in London twice before and has also toured the UK.
A whole variety of well-known drag artists, including RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni, have featured in various iterations of this show previously – including Willam, Courtney Act, Latrice Royale, Monet X Change and Ra’Jah O’Hara.
Back on London’s West End, in a new home at the Criterion Theatre, the show now stars Jujubee and Kitty Scott-Claus in the lead roles, with Vinegar Strokes returning as The Lady (having previously been in the original run and the touring production).
One of the things we love about Death Drop, though, is that it’s very much not just about the Drag Race queens. Sure, they play main characters – although the cast is relatively small, so everyone plays a fairly major role – and receive a loud cheer for their respective entrances, but the play doesn’t lean on Drag Race at all.
