THE WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON

DEATH NOTE: THE MUSICAL

Based on the bestselling Shueisha Manga series

By Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata

ANNOUNCES NEW 2027 BARBICAN SEASON

FOLLOWING SELL-OUT 2026 RUN

Following the sell-out success and critical acclaim of its strictly limited 2026 season, the worldwide phenomenon DEATH NOTE: THE MUSICAL will return to London’s Barbican Theatre from 23 March –15 May 2027, giving more fans and musical lovers alike the opportunity to experience this spectacular new musical.

Having broken the record at the Barbican for the highest grossing single week of a musical and broken the record five consecutive times for the highest grossing single performance of a musical, DEATH NOTE: THE MUSICAL was hailed by Radio Times as “the best show I have seen in the last decade” and by the Financial Times as “a riotous spectacle” and has become the hit of the year.

This bold new production brings the iconic Japanese manga to life with a thrilling rock score, soaring power ballads, spectacular design and a striking visual world. Its return to London in 2027 reflects the growing global influence of Japanese and Eastern popular culture, from manga and fashion to the worldwide phenomenon of K-pop. DEATH NOTE: THE MUSICAL is cultural exchange in action, taking one of Japan’s most iconic stories and transforming it into a uniquely theatrical experience for a global audience.
