New casting has been announced for West End comedy Death Drop which opens at the Garrick Theatre in May.
RuPaul’s Drag Race superstars Willam & Latrice Royale and Britain’s Got Talent 2020 semi-finalist Myra Dubois will make their West End debut in the comic murder mystery.
Described by Attitude as a “killer show” and ”rollicking good fun” by The Guardian, the Dragatha Christie murder mystery the show is set on the imaginary Tuck Island in the early 90s, where a gaggle of drag-divas converge for a soiree that’s so glamorous, it’s to die for!
With the scene set, you know what happens and over the next 2-hours, we get to see these ladies sashay their way around the stage revealing their inner secrets and ferociously pointing a murderous finger at each other. One by one, the ladies lip sync for their lives, leading up to a grand finale of epic proportions where you hilariously find out who did it! Packed with more ridiculous plot twists than a John Waters film, Death Drop sounds the tonic!
Willam will take on the role of 80s pop sensation “Shazza”, alongside Latrice Royale as “Summer Raines”, a glamorous American weather girl living in London and Myra Dubois as “The Lady”.
Willam said: “I’m excited to be in the West End with my breast friend Latrice Royale in Death Drop, a spectacular drag musical murder mystery. No spoilers please (I DID IT).”
Latrice Royale added: “I cannot WAIT to be making my debut on London’s West End in Death Drop! This is just beyond any dream I could have even conceived of when I was a boy in Compton, California.”
Ever the comedian Dubois said “What an honour it is to be able to swoop in and save this little show.”
Joining the trio of drag superstars will be LoUis CYfer, Anna Phylactic and Holly Stars who reprise their roles from the pre-Christmas run in 2020.
Death Drop is booking from 19 May 2021 until 11 July 2021 at the Garrick Theatre, London.
