American RuPaul's Drag Race contestant to star in 'murder mystery sensation' in Liverpool

RuPaul’s Drag Race star Jujubee will be joining the cast of a “drag murder mystery sensation” coming to the city.

It was previously announced that Cheryl Hole alongside drag king Louis Cyfer would be starring in the “laugh a minute” show, Death Drop: Back In The Habit. Now, Jujubee, a drag queen from the American version of RuPaul’s Drag Race will also be making an appearance.

The production sees “a gaggle of fabulous nuns trapped in their convent with a serial slayer slashing their way through the Sisters”. As the clues are unearthed by one sister, guests can be expected to be “laughing in the pews as the hilarious, fierce, all-drag killer comedy comes to its thrilling and uproarious conclusion”.

Jujubee said: “I’m so excited to be returning to the Death Drop family in an entirely new play. I also can’t wait to go on tour and see more of Ireland and the UK. Get me on that stage now - it’s going to be fabulous.”

Touring across the UK from this autumn, the new production, written by Rob Evans and directed once again by Jesse Jones, kicks off in Bromley. This show will then “sashay” into the likes of London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham until March 2023, with further venues to be announced. The tour comes to Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre from Monday, 6 to Saturday, February 11.

Cheryl Hole added: “I’m so beyond excited and honoured to be part of the new cast of Death Drop. 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.”

Those who see the show before Saturday, December 3, in other cities up and down the country will spot a familiar face from the award-winning reality competition show as season four queen Willam is returning to the production having starred in the original version in the West End last year.
