★★★★☆ London Theatre Review: Death Note – The Musical by HoriPro and Trafalgar Theatre Productions

Singapore’s Xander Pang leads an ambitious reimagining of the manga phenomenon that dazzles in moments but struggles to match the psychological intensity of its source material. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – There is something inherently audacious about bringing Death Note, one of Japan’s most recognisable manga properties, to the London stage as an English-language musical. Even more so when the musical itself has travelled such an … Continue reading ★★★★☆ London Theatre Review: Death Note – The Musical by HoriPro and Trafalgar Theatre Productions

★★★★★ Theatre Review: Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party (2026) by Singapore Repertory Theatre

A hotter, more assured battle of tradition and reinvention, as Dick Lee himself helms this deliciously chaotic dinner-theatre adaptation of his classic musical. There is something wonderfully appropriate about Fried Rice Paradise never staying the same. Dick Lee wrote the song in 1973 as his first attempt at a Singaporean pop song, only to see it banned from airplay for its use of Singlish. More … Continue reading ★★★★★ Theatre Review: Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party (2026) by Singapore Repertory Theatre
