I think it's pretty kind the way that Sayu is the main character of Death Note but she discreetly stepped aside to let Light have his protagonism too. few talk about this. it speaks to her gentle character
[ID: Death Note manga panels, one of Light saying smugly, "Narrowed it down? I've been acting from the start to lead them to that conclusion, Ryuk." and one of Sayu smiling as she says, "You know… Light's starting to act like a real teenager." They have the same smile.]
[ID: Death Note manga panel of Sayu and Sachiko greeting Misa as she walks into their home. Sachiko says with a sweat drop, "Welcome." Sayu holds up an Eighteen magazine as she beams and says, "Hi, Misa! I saw you in lots of magazines!" Misa smiles back and answers, "Hee hee, thanks."]

Do you think Sayu ever forgave herself for her family’s death? After all, it’s her fault the notebook was stolen, and so it’s her fault that Soichiro died trying to get it back. Does that mean Light’s blood is on her hands as well? If Soichiro was still alive, would Light have survived Kira? If so, that means her mother’s death is her fault as well. Even when her heart still beats, she cries constantly and has no hope left.
Is it Sayu’s fault Sachiko can’t get better, too? If Sayu was just stronger, better, her mother wouldn’t have to spend her days pushing her around and mourning the daughter she used to have. She wouldn’t be so exhausted then, would she? Do the police hate Sayu, for piling more and more questions they aren’t allowed to answer? Would it be more selfish of her to kill herself, to relieve them all, or to stay alive, so their efforts for her aren’t in vain?
[ID: Death Note manga panel of Soichiro asking Sachiko, "How's Sayu?" Sachiko is holding a glass of water as she answers, "She's locked herself in her room."]
Light Yagami is compliant the entire first day they're handcuffed together.
Almost too compliant. L is not ruling out the possibility he'll strangle L in his sleep, hence why, as he shuts the hotel room door behind them, L silently decides he'll use his Whale Sleeping Method (standing up while shutting down alternate halves of his brain) tonight. Unfortunately he isn't quite as good as a whale is yet, but he presumes he'll at least notice Light's hand wrapped around his neck.
"Ryuzaki," Light says on cue, "why is there only one bed."
"That's because only you'll be sleeping," L says. "I am patenting my Whale Sleeping Method."
"The what — actually, I don't want to know." Light digs one thumb into his temple. "You're going to be watching me while I sleep, aren't you."
"Yes," L confirms.
"Right." Light sighs. "I'm sorry, but if you're expecting anything, you'll be disappo…"
He trails off.
L frowns and glances over. "Light-kun?"
"Ryuzaki," Light says extremely evenly, not looking at him: "what's today's date?"
"July 23rd, 2004," L informs him easily.
"July," Light mutters to himself. "J—fuck."
"What is it?" L asks, even as Light tugs him over to the bed in silence and sits with a thump.
"My father was in prison too," he says abruptly. "He said so."
"Yes." L is becoming a little annoyed, and more than a little intrigued. This version of Light Yagami — because he does seem to be a different version — is off in a million ways. He seems truer, more anchored in reality somehow, and yet the workings of his mind are more opaque than ever.
His fingers, L notices, are trembling.
"When?"
"When what?"
"When did he go into imprisonment?"
"June first," L says, then — noticing Light's lost expression — "The same day as you."
"I have to go," Light says.
"The bathroom is five meters away from you."
"No, I have to go home. Sayu—"
Light stops. He shuts his mouth with a clack.
"Your younger sister?" What does Sayu Yagami have to do with anything? L could count on one hand the number of times Light has brought her up voluntarily. Is she a pawn? An accomplice?
"I need to go home," Light repeats, still not looking at him.
Instead of answering, L taps his nails against the chain between them. It rings metallically. Light drops his face into his hands.
L presses one finger into the corner of his mouth. Light is concerned about: the current date, his father's date of imprisonment, his sister. L flips through files in his head. Sayu Yagami, student, blood type O—
Ah.
"June eighteenth," L says. "Her birthday."
"I was supposed to take her to a concert," Light mumbles.
"Rather noble of you."
Light glares at him. L is almost taken aback by the genuine venom in it; it lasts for half a second before Light blinks and looks away again. "Mom wouldn't let her go. She'd been to one in March already. We were going to sneak out."
L studies him. This eighteen-year-old boy with every bone in his body calculated to align in only the most disarming of poses, now slumped inelegantly on the edge of a hotel bed. L had always wanted to see how Kira killed; had always wanted to see how Light Yagami's face, that confident and smiling mask, would split to reveal the ugly breathtaking truth of his cruelty.
That's the reason for all of this, isn't it? He wants to see Light honest.
And this — is honesty. Just not where L had expected it.
"Your father was allowed communication in his cell," L informs him. "I am sure he wished her a happy birthday on your behalf."
Light's mouth twists. "She thinks I ran off with Misa."
"Yes," L says. "You came up with the cover story yourself."
"There was something wrong with me then," Light mutters, but without any of his usual conviction. "Give me a phone. She deserves to hear from me."
"I can't do that," L lies.
"You can look at the goddamn texts when I send them, okay? Run it through all the detectors you want, I just — want to talk to her."
L allows himself to stare. Light looks back at him, unflinching. His hand twitches at his side, the same way it had when he'd screamed at L in the hospital when he'd accused Sayu Yagami of fitting Light's profile.
Hm. A hypothesis; an experiment. "One text."
"Fine," Light says too-quickly, and L hands him a burner.
i actually need light yagami to be in therapy because i think it would be very funny and also very real™. i think he'd be utterly delusional and in denial about everything. he's like ok yeah i am aware of 'depression' but i only cry for six hours every day because i'm letting excess water out of my body so that doesn't apply to me. you are telling me about 'bipolar disorder' but being awake for days at a time makes me really productive so i fail to see why this is a problem. my friends and loved ones say i'm the normalist.
Cast History for the Barbican Theatre production of Death Note the Musical!
Here, Xander Pang plays Light Yagami, previously playing Luke in London's production of The Lightning Thief: A Percy Jackson Musical.
Colin Ryan will play L, previously known to Hades 2 fans as Apollo.
Stephanie Zaharis is Misa, who played Mary Magdalene in Goodspeed's production of Jesus Christ Superstar and played Moana for live Disney stage productions.
Biggest names of the production are Telly Leung as Ryuk, Grace Mouat as Rem, and Paolo Montalban as Soichiro.
In the previous English concert of Death Note, the Shinigami were played by famous white actors Adam Pascal, known for RENT and CHESS, and Aimee Atkinson, known for Six and Pretty Women. No disrespect to those two, they did amazing jobs. It's just nice to see these particular Asian actors being treated with similar levels of respect when their casting was announced.
Telly Leung has starred in many big Asian-based Broadway shows like Pacific Overtures, Alligence, Flower Drum Song, and Yellowface. He has also played Aladdin and the Phantom of the Opera. Leung also originated the role of Boq in Wicked in Chicago.
Grace Mouat originated Karen in the West End production of Mean Girls and has played Ella in Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. She has also been in Six as a swing and dance captain. Ironically, she has also played Katherine Howard, the same role previous Rem actress Aimee Atkinson had.
Lastly, Paolo Montalban is best known as playing Prince Charming in various productions and movies, first starring alongside Brandy in the 1997 Disney TV adaptation of Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. What a coincidence for our next Misa actress, who had previously played Ella. He has also been in the 2004 Broadway revival of Pacific Overtures alongside Telly Leung and various productions of The King and I.
Last principal credit I can find stuff on is Chloe Saracco, who played Mary in the Donmar Warehouse production of Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812, and was in Bridge Theatre's Into The Woods.
