One day you¡¯re suddenly handed the power to kill at will without ever having to see your victims. Would you use this power for good, meting out justice to society¡¯s worst offenders? Or, would you indulge in your devilish side, exacting revenge on those who¡¯ve wronged you? Maybe you wouldn¡¯t use it at all.

¡°Death Note: The Musical¡± originally took the form of a manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. It follows the story of Light Yagami, a high school student hungry for intellectual stimulation.

Early in the story, Light becomes the owner of a notebook (the titular ¡°Death Note¡°) that allows him to visit death upon people by simply jotting down their name in its pages.
