People behind the production
Death Note stands at the intersection of manga storytelling and live performance. Originating as a groundbreaking manga created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata (2003–2006), it expanded into anime, live-action films, and stage musicals. The Death Note musical projects have brought the story to audiences worldwide, with a score by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy, and a book by Ivan Menchell. The English-language concert in London in 2023 sparked a West End cast album released by Ghostlight Records, introducing Death Note to new fans and long-time readers alike.
