I would be remiss to not first cast some light on the incredibly unique journey Death Note has ridden to becoming a musical. In 2003, Death Note, a Japanese manga (comic/graphic novel) series written and illustrated by Tsugumi Obata and Takeshi Obata, respectively, was first published. In 2006, the anime (animation) adaptation first aired in Japan to widespread acclaim. Its popularity was so huge that two live action Japanese films shortly followed. A musical adaptation then premiered in Tokyo in 2015, before touring Japan and opening of a South Korean production. Jumping forward to 2023 we skip over several seasons of the musical in Japan and South Korea, a Netflix live action film and a concert version opening in Russia, and we land in the present day – Death Note: The Musical In Concert opening at the London Palladium.
