I've been a fan of this manga for years. When I saw the musical announced I didn't know what to think, but I had to watch it. I really liked the way they resolved the length of the play. Amazingly well thought the way the stage interacts with the different "locations" in the play. Then what can I say about the actors? Incredible voices, very good interpretation of each character, especially L, as awkward as he is in the manga / anime. I was very surprised with him. And Ryuk, who brings a touch of comedy, very much welcomed. Thank you for everything!

The cast was amazing, the set design was out of this world (literally), and the song updates captured the overall story really well. Barbican is the perfect performance space and I am looking forward to see it again next year!!!

Absolutely amazing! The cast, vocals, music and staging were incredible. As a Death Note fan, I loved seeing the story brought to life on stage. Dark, intense and brilliantly done — would absolutely see it again!

The show was excellent. The acting, singing and dancing were flawless. The musical score was rock songs, which were as good as all the other musicals in the westend. The set changes were flawlessly moved around electronically maybe because I didn't see any pullies and they didn't have people come on stage to move it . The Barbican Theatre was also remarkable. I had doors at both ends of every row of seats, these door were all close electronically together when the show was just ready to start. Instead of a curtain it looked like a shiny metal shutter, to top half went up and the bottom half went down to reveal the stage. The seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room where I sat in the stalls. Overall I found it an unforgettable experience, as soon the show finished I wanted to stay and watch it again. It is a shame that the show only has about another two weeks left to run and as of the 22/08/26 it has no plans as yet to continue .

Took my daughter to an animé musical (Death Note) and was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did! Great view from our seats in the circle, and I was really impressed with how slick the whole performance was, including the stage mechan (not sure that's the technical term!). Every performer was so talented it was a pleasure to watch.
