This summer, the hotly anticipated world premiere of Death Note: The Musical arrives to the Barbican for 50 performances only. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, the legendary manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata is reimagined for London in collaboration with original producers HoriPro, featuring an electrifying score by Tony, Grammy and Emmy nominee Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy and a book by Ivan Menchell. When brilliant student Light Yagami discovers a notebook with the power over life and death, his quest to reshape the world sparks a relentless battle of wits with the elusive detective L, where every name carries consequences.

Trafalgar Theatre Productions are currently seeking an experienced Deputy Head of Wigs, Hair and Make-Up to join the company of Death Note. Experience of setting up large-scale new musicals within the Wigs, Hair and Make-Up team is desirable.
