Death Note Musical Announces London Return at Barbican for Spring 2027

The stage adaptation of the popular manga series Death Note is scheduled to return to London’s Barbican Theatre for a run beginning on March 23, 2027. The production will continue through May 15 of that year, offering audiences another chance to see the show following its highly successful previous engagement.

This upcoming season follows a strictly limited 2026 performance that sold out completely and received significant critical praise. During that earlier run, the musical established new box office records at the venue, including the highest grossing single week and five consecutive records for the highest grossing individual performances. Organizers have released a new trailer to promote the upcoming dates.

Based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the musical features music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy, and a book by Ivan Menchell. Tickets are currently available for purchase through the official website.
