The West End premiere of Death Drop - a 'Dragatha Christie Murder-Mystery' - was sadly cut short at the Garrick Theatre last December as the UK was forced into yet another lockdown. But you can't keep a good Drag Queen down! The hit comedy has returned with a lipstick-smeared vengeance and now boasts a handful of brand new cast members.

Hi, this is Latrice Royale, and you're watching Broadway World UK. Death Drop
0:06
Greetings and salutations, queens, kings, and Broadway World UK viewers. My name is Tom Hayden-Millward, and you may be thinking
0:15
Death Drop? A drag of the Christie murder mystery? She already done had herses
0:22
But no, the campus show in town is back here at the Garrick Theatre for round two
0:28
And we're here today to meet its brand new leading ladies, RuPaul's Drag Race superstars, Willem and Latrice Royale
0:44
I'm thrilled to be making my West End debut. West End is the best end with my best friend Latrice Royale
0:52
I did not ever expect this. I'm glad they gave me the visa
0:56
Oh, this is an absolute dream. I did not expect to be making my West End debut
1:02
but I'm like coming out of a situation where we have not been working we haven been on stage for over a year This is the perfect way to come back for me because I was already done with the clubbing So this is like the perfect segue and elevation for my next trajectory in life
1:20
We're all official, we're all being safe, so there's no mischief just yet because we gotta keep our, like, no new friends, like Drake said
1:28
But as far as mischief, I'm keeping it on the cute down low level
1:31
because I still want to, you know, we're still trying to do protocol and stay safe and keep everybody safe
1:36
I'm not trying to, you know, people too much. But it is good to be able to get out and see some sights and whenever the sun shines again
1:47
That is London. Oh, my goodness
2:01
Camp? Yeah, for sure. Fun, exciting, hilarious. I mean, it's the perfect way to like spin your evening
2:09
And like you're going to talk about it forever and your friends are going to talk about it forever
2:13
And you going to leave here feeling so overjoyed and so good down in your soul just because you had been belly laughing the entire time And you know what better way to spend an evening than that
2:24
The garden is full and it's beautiful and lovely, but it is very camp, I guess
2:30
But who doesn't like to pitch a tent, right? I relate to my character because she likes to sing and dance and now she's employed and so am I
3:00
Gigs. Do you have the gigs over here? Gigs, gigs, gigs. The gigs. Summer rains. I do. She's beautiful. She's articulate. She's gorgeous. She's beautiful
3:12
I think Death Drop is the perfect post tonic for all of the UK because you never met anybody that says
3:35
oh, I don't like singing, oh, I hate laughing. Like, it's so much fun
3:41
The show is great. It's perfect for all ages. And if you sit in the front row, you get a little extra show
3:46
Splash tone. Death Drop is the perfect post-lockdown tonic, as you call it
3:53
It is definitely the remedy to getting over the lockdown fever. I mean, if you're going to come out and see a show for the first time, this is the one to come see
4:04
It's a good time. It's a slap up time. What sort of who
4:08
I'm learning that little lingo there. Death Drop's limited engagement
4:20
runs through to the 11th of July here at the Garrick. And if you can't love this production
4:26
then how in the hell are you going to love any of the others? Now, can I get an amen up in here
4:32
Can I get an amen up in here? A gay man? Amen
4:37
Thank you so much
