The Drag Seed Reviews
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"...Directed by Cheryl Snodgrass, this is a boldly, gloriously asinine parody of The Bad Seed, that classic 1956 evil-child thriller that laid the foundation for everything from The Omen franchise to Netflix's The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. That parody is filtered through an aesthetic inspired by the Charles Quartet, aka drag gurus Charles Busch, Charles Ludlam, Charles Pierce, and RuPaul Charles."
Chicago Theatre Review- Highly Recommended
"...This hilarious revival is the perfect diversion to drive away the winter blues. It's a bawdy, over-the-top black comedy that's filled with broadly-drawn characters and an abundance of adult humor. Despite still having to be vaccinated and masked, the audience will enjoy David Cerda's parody, as it slays with its outrageous comedy and bizarre situations. And this production marks a real milestone for David Cerda, who'll be taking his show on the road and leaving them dead in the Big Apple. Hell in a Handbag Productions, with their hilarious satires and over-the-top performances, will soon be known beyond Chicago in America's Theatre Capital, as they spread their much-loved satire and schtick to a whole new audience."
Third Coast Review- Not Recommended
"...The Drag Seed, directed by Cheryl Snodgrass, delivers its message in an improbable joint homage to the 1950s camp classic The Bad Seed and RuPaul's Drag Race. Unfortunately, along the way, the show forgets to be funny."
