“The show is without doubt deserving of future life here on UK shores.”

Death Note: The Musical

“There is lots to appreciate about this attempt to pack the essence of Death Note into a two-act musical, delivered at such visually ambitious, if not dizzying, scale.”

The Jonathan Larson Project

“What opens up instead is a beautiful window into the past, and the future of Jonathan Larson's legacy, giving modern audiences the chance to fall in love with a new collection of work.”

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

“Moving, emotional and ultimately inspiring, this tale of persistence, resilience and belief gives William's ever-growing legacy a newfound theatrical voice, reminding audiences that the community lives at its heart.”

The Comedy About Spies

“Equal parts side-splittingly funny and gasp-worthy, the play (that definitely went right) truly goes above and beyond expectations, a creative stroke of genius in what can be accomplished in a comedy play.”
