Not quite the show I would think fits a musical lol. I kinda wish they made a decent Hollywood movie, or the creator to make another death note series with a diff protagonist

.....what? Although I'm intrigued, I'm even more bewildered. We can't get a Hollywood version, but we can get a musical?

Ah yes, I always imagined this manga about a serial killer would make a brilliant stage musical.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought Light singing while killing people with his death note would be interesting. lol

They have broadway shows for Cinderella, Lion King, etc.... why do people have issues when JP makes a musical for what they create but not when people in the states make musicals for cartoons here.

Hey if they can make a Tony Award-winning Book of Mormon musical (by the creators of South Park!), then why not about the book of Death Note. Laughing

Haha, as hammy as the anime was, this seems to fit right in. Maybe we'll get a song about deception and taking/eating a fried potato snack food. I might have to go see this.
