Drag celebrities and former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants Jujubee and Willam will star in Holly Stars’s Death Drop, which is set to begin previews at New World Stages on June 30 ahead of an official opening night on July 13. The news was announced through the production’s Instagram page.
Jesse Jones directs this “Drag-atha Christie murder mystery,” which features original music by Nicola Dempsey & Rose Dempsey.
An official description reads, “Set in 1991, a gaggle of guests gather on the mysterious Tuck Island for a dinner party like no other. The tension rises as the outrageous guests reveal their questionable pasts and hidden secrets. As the ferocious finger pointing and savage speculation begins, one by one they sashay away, until at the last, nerve-shredding, side-splitting moment we find out who-dunnit!”
Jujubee and Willam have previously appeared in the UK production of Death Drop, went on national tour, and spawned a sequel with nuns. Joining them in the off-Broadway run will be Shuga Cain, along with Holly Stars, Kiki Ball-Change, Peachez Iman Cummings, and Wang Newton.
Death Drop features scenic design by Justin Williams, costume design by Isobel Pellow, lighting design by Jack Weir, sound design by Beth Duke, and wig design by Florencia Melone.
