About Death Note: The Musical

Death Note: The Musical is the ★★★★★, “exhilarating" (The Stage) new musical based on the iconic Japanese manga phenomenon. The Times says "Veterans and novices alike will be enchanted” and The Radio Times hails it "the best show I have seen in the last decade”. This strictly limited season is in its final weeks at the Barbican, playing until 12 September.

With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, this “triumphant, fantastical manga thriller” (WhatsOnStage) by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata is a global sensation that has captivated audiences worldwide.

Now, boldly reimagined for the London stage in close collaboration with the original Japanese producers, HoriPro, this “highly entertaining musical” (The Times) features an “electrifying, symphonic and catchy” (BroadwayWorld) score by Tony, Grammy and Emmy nominee Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy and a book by Ivan Menchell.

When brilliant student Light Yagami discovers a notebook with the power to determine who lives and who dies, his mission to reshape society quickly spirals out of control and attracts the attention of the elusive and ruthless detective L. What begins as justice descends into obsession and forces both Light and L to confront the limits of morality itself.

"London’s musical theatre summer just got a whole lot more exciting” (WhatsOnStage) so don’t miss out, book now.
