A supernatural notebook grants the power to end lives, thrusting a brilliant student into a god-like pursuit of a new world order. This reimagining of the legendary manga translates a cerebral battle of wits between Light and L into a sweeping theatrical spectacle. Through Frank Wildhorn’s evocative score, the production examines the fragile boundary between justice and madness.
