REVIEW: Death Drop - Back in the Habit at Manchester Opera House

Madness and mayhem were the order of the day as the Death Drop team dropped into Manchester Opera House recently.

Death Drop - Back in the Habit followed the team as their latest offering was set in a convent.

Think of The Sound of Music meets Scary Movie and you will get an idea of what was on stage.

This jam-packed, riotous comedy, was well received by the audience as they cheered and roared with laughter as the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race performed on stage.

The drama starts when an unwanted visitor to the Convent of St Babs triggers unnatural happenings that threaten the sisters’ sacred way of life. 

Jujubee and Cheryl Hole led an all-drag cast, including Victoria Scone, Kitty Scott Claus and Drag King LoUis CYfer.

I must admit, not having seen the popular TV show, I was at a bit of a loss when some of the ‘in jokes’ where delivered, but the majority of the audience lapped it up. 

The delivery of some of the lines was also a bit hard to decipher, but again, maybe this was because I wasn’t familiar with the cast.

The whole performance was set in the convent, and full marks must be given to the set designer for the towering Gothic surroundings, which was used to full effect, especially in the Scooby Doo style running scene in the first act.
