Enjoy a murder mystery like no other with sensational drag show, Death Drop: Back in the Habit.

The production, which comes fresh off the back of three sold-out Death Drop shows in the West End and a nationwide tour, is bringing its latest show to the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, followed by five nights at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford.

Death Drop: Back in the Habit is a fun-filled comedy starring contestants from the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise, including Willam, Cheryl Hole and Kent’s own River Medway.

The show follows a group of fabulous nuns trapped in their convent with a serial killer. The sisters are forced to find clues to stop the slayings and save themselves, all ending in a farcical finale.

Willam, who starred in the original Death Drop production last year along with fellow cast member LoUis CYfer, found fame in the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. They have since released three albums and appeared in the blockbuster film, A Star is Born.

Cheryl Hole, who first appeared on season one of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2019 and returned for Drag Race: UK vs the World earlier this year, will be making their debut in this latest Death Drop show.

“I’m so beyond excited and honoured to be part of the new cast of Death Drop,” says the Essex-born performer. “After seeing so many of my talented friends in the different renditions of the show, I can’t wait to step into the shoes of my peers and show everyone that I’m far from mediocre.”

River Medway, who represented Chatham with a look resembling the town’s Thomas Waghorn statue on season three of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, has also been announced as part of the new Death Drop cast, along with Cardiff-based performer Victoria Scone.

Death Drop: Back in the Habit will be at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, from Thursday, October 27 to Sunday, October 30. Book online here.

The show will also be at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford, from Tuesday, November 1 to Saturday, November 5. Book online here.
