Wait, Only Human was from the Death Note musical. Mind blown

@Stoner_Shaggy 2 years ago

One fact you didnt mention is that Lights father in the musical is the same Japanese actor who plays Lights father in the original Japanese live action films.

The day this show is available in America, I will sell my soul just to get a ticket

Most stageplay adaptations of anime and games are pretty good.
I think it's because Japan doesn't shy away from the weirdness of it and leans into it whenever it can.

Seriously; Ace Attorney, Yakuza, Pokemon, Love is War, Bleach, One Piece, Gintama.
All cheesy and yet great because of it.

"Misa and Light's relationship is underdeveloped". Why is that in the changes section???

@farmerproductions9869 2 years ago

I love how they had Jeremy Jordan be the one to sing Light’s songs in English as I consider myself a fan since he voiced Varian in the tangled show, played Winn in supergirl and recently voiced Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel.

I haven't watched this yet. But I hope they changed the ending. One of the books had a really great alternate version idea where L sacrificed his life by writing his own name in the death note secretly and scheduled it a month or something away so that when Light tried to write his, it didn't work.

As a big fan of death note the musical made me an even bigger fan. Netflix should have just recorded this and saved all that money they spent on the bad live action movie. Oh man this might be my fav musical

@realfangplays 2 years ago

The clips can't really do it justice. Just listen to any one full song and you'll be hooked.

The Chief Yagami actor is the same actor as the live action movie as well as the chairman in the Japanese Iron Chef.

The creative team of last year’s London production of Death Note are doing a production of one of Wildhorn’s other anime musicals, Your Lie in April, next month.

I really hope there’s a production of his Fist of the North Star musical soon. I also hope the Death Note London Cast Recording that was recorded is released soon.

The music is so good and I hope we get a production in the states eventually

I have been listening to this since the English demo came out and I am shocked by how fantastic it is

@misternathanfowlkes 2 years ago

So mad this isn't curently running on Broadway. I hope the london one does well enough to get it over the pond

It might also interest you that the London production is working on its concept album, set to be released soon, starring Joaquin Pedro-Valdes as Light, Dean John Wilson as L, Frances Mayli Mcann as Misa, the Aimee Atkinson as Rem, and Adam Pascal as Ryuk.
