With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, the legendary manga phenomenon by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata has captivated audiences for almost twenty years, including multiple sell-out seasons of the musical in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
Now, boldly reimagined for the London stage in close collaboration with the original Japanese producers, HoriPro, this new musical features an electrifying score by Tony, Grammy, and Emmy nominee Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy, and a book by Ivan Menchell. Death Note: The Musical is set to be the theatrical event of the summer.
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, attracting the attention of the elusive and ruthless detective L. What begins as justice descends into obsession, forcing both Light and L to confront the limits of morality itself.
