MEDUIM ★★★★★

“Director and choreographer, Nick Winston, has brought this musical to life in spectacular fashion”

THEATRE WEEKLY ★★★★★

“All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the expert direction of the ever reliable Nick Winston. Having proven himself to be a master at his craft in recent productions, he has struck gold once again with an incredible eye for how best to translate this story to the stage and a British audience and an attention of detail that created a wholly pleasing watch. Nick’s choreography was equally a delight, particularly in one memorable sequence involving Light (Joaquin Pedro Valdes), L (Dean John Wilson) and a game of tennis.”

ALL THAT DAZZLES ★★★★★

“Directed by Nick Winston, the cast are absolutely incredible. Every song receives a round of well-deserved rapturous applause.”

FAIRY POWERED PRODUCTIONS ★★★★★

“Punters shouldn’t be fooled by the words ‘In Concert’ – Death Note is as boisterous and fully blocked as some shows inhabiting the West End right now – thanks in large part to director and choreographer Nick Winston – pulling off excellent work with a limited rehearsal period. The rapidity and punchy brutality of the storytelling creates a thrill-ride ending that combines fantastical shocks with edge-of-the-seat twists – earning a big thumbs up along the way.”

“Nick Winston directs with verve. He delivers a show that flawlessly sits between camp and edgy”
