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.
