Death Note

• Violence and Death: The musical concert includes depictions of violence, death, and discussion of mortality, as it revolves around a notebook that grants the power to kill people whose names are written in it.

• Suicidal Themes: Some characters may contemplate or attempt suicide during the course of the story, which could be upsetting for some viewers.

• Mental Health and Psychological Distress: The plot explores complex psychological themes, including the mental toll of holding the power of life and death.

• Dark and Intense Atmosphere: The concert may maintain a dark and intense atmosphere throughout, which could be emotionally challenging for some viewers

• Sensitive Topics: The story touches on sensitive topics such as justice, morality, and the consequences of one's actions.

• There is a countdown once the first name is written in the Death Note where the stage goes red and the ensemble counts back from 40, personally, I found this scene stressful as I expected some sort of sudden loud noise at the end however it was just to build tensions and there is not sudden noise at the end.

• The introduction of the Death Note explains how when a name is written in the book the person will die within 40 seconds either by the cause of death listed after their name or if no cause of death was specified by a heart attack. For me, this was hard to hear but did not trigger me as the introduction was over quickly and I was quickly able to move on from the ideology that one person controls death and can decide how a person will die.

• There are gunshots near the end but these are essentially preempted as we see L holding a gun so whilst the exact moment the gunshots go off is unknown the audience is aware they are coming. Also, I cannot speak for other runs but at the Palladium the gunshots were quiet and actually felt a little bit underwhelming, especially with how intense the rest of the show had been.

• There are open discussions of self-sacrifice, mostly between Rem and Misa, specifically during Borrowed Time as Misa discusses her desire to die as she views every breath as being on borrowed time after she sacrificed half of her lifespan earlier on in the show. Alongside the discussions of sacrifice are also many discussions about killing people and these are mostly between Light and Ryuk

• There are mentions of people being forced into various suicide methods as the Death Note allows the holder to specify the cause of death and as Light kills more and more people he becomes more creative with his methods. The only method that is made partly visual is when a character is made to jump in front of the train but other than hearing the build-up nothing visual happens and the actor simply walks off the stage.

• Near the end of the show when Light and L face off the audience learns that L is now in the Death Note and L is made to read his own fate, this scene may be upsetting for some viewers as the audience is made to watch as L begs for his life and tries to move the gun away from his head to resist his fate of suicide that has been written in Death Note.

• At the end of the show, Ryuk reaches into Light's chest to insert the Death Note and removes an apple to take a bite which signifies Light's heart. There is a squelching noise that accompanies this scene and may be slightly uncomfortable for some people to hear.

Jesus Christ Superstar

• Haze

• Flashing Lights

• Naked Flames

• Scenes Including Mature Content: depictions of crucifixion, discussions of an implied artistic staging of a hanging

• Age Guidance 10+

• In the song Judas' Death we hear Judas' guilt from betraying Jesus and this guilt from doing what was asked of him drives him to commit suicide on stage - this suicide is visual but more implied as you simply watch Judas climb a ladder and then seemingly let go (the actor is still attached to the frame by a loop) and then just lean back on the top of the ladder until the song ends.

• Near the end of the show during the song Trial Before Pilate (Including the 39 Lashes) to the end of the show and during the bows the actor for Jesus is covered in blood to show the torture He endured

• During the song Trial Before Pilate (Including the 39 Lashes) Jesus has two aux cords wrapped around His hands to restrain him and then he is 'whipped' on stage - the whipping is done by a whip cracking noise created by two pieces of wood being hit together whilst the actor for Jesus flinches and has glitter thrown at Him to signify the 'electricity'. Personally, this scene was very uncomfortable to watch due to the sound and the acting of Jesus and He greatly flinched at each lash.

• Torture is seen throughout the second act of the show from around Judas' Death due to the beating, whipping and crucifixion of Jesus. These scenes are uncomfortable to watch due to their impactful nature and could prove upsetting to some people.

Lizzie

• Strong Language

• References to Sexual Abuse

• Strobe/Flashing Lights

• Blood

• Haze

• Loud Music & Noises

• The show has moments that are quite visually graphic as they show sexual abuse, especially during the songs This Is Not Love and The Soul of the White Bird. These scenes didn't trigger me but they are definitely uncomfortable and hard to watch. This Is Not Love, especially is explicit about what happened to Lizzie Borden and how her father sexually abused her. This abuse is mentioned throughout and this is why I would not recommend this show for people who are triggered by sexual abuse or younger audiences.

• The Soul of the White Bird is less visually graphic but still has its moments. This song is challenging as you watch Lizzie's mind falter as she struggles with what her father did to her.

• The show is visually gory, as the murders occur the stage is covered in a projection of dripping blood and a character ends up covered in blood.

• The show is loud due to the music and the theatre does shake during heavier moments in songs due to the power of the beat.

• The theatre is hard to leave due to its nature so if you feel that you may struggle with anything it would be advisable to sit at the end of a row (low number) as you can only exit the theatre using the exit behind the seating. This is because the main exit is only accessible by passing the stage and would thus disrupt the show. There is a possibility that the show may actually make the main exit unusable during the performance but you would have to ask a member of the Front of House Team to clarify should exiting be a concern for you.

• Will You Lie? shows the use of love as a form of manipulation as one character coerces another character into lying for them.

• Rehab the Musical includes descriptions of misogyny, sexualised behaviour, trauma, addiction, drug taking, alcohol abuse, overdose and self-harm

• The show deals with various forms of addiction throughout

• The end of Act 1 is challenging as Phil/Philipa reads their suicide note and walks towards a bright white light whilst the cast sings goodbye and Act 1 ends with a flatline noise. This scene is made more challenging as, at the same time, we see a character blame themselves and all rehab members except Philip deal with what has happened and write their addictions on paper to burn them, making this scene even more powerful and emotional

• Implied misogyny, negative judgments and degrading comments throughout

• Frequent mentions of eating disorders, as one character has a compulsive eating disorder

ReMythed

• Reference to Homophobia and Racism

• Flashing Lights (Minimal)

Romeo & Juliet

• Flashing Lights, Smoke and Haze Effects

• Some scenes include: Physical Aggression, Violence, Blood and References to Depression, Anxiety and Suicide

• The inclusion of blood in the show is quite a lot of characters do end up covered

• There are blackouts at the end of Act 1 and Act 2 which can be stressful as there is uncertainty as to what will happen and their abrupt start and ending further adds to the tense feeling of these moments. As someone who struggled with the Oklahoma blackouts, these were not pleasant but the shorter time of these blackouts made them bearable and far less stressful for me.

• The screen and flashing lights are fairly bright and were uncomfortable for me at moments during the show

• Due to the nature of Romeo & Juliet, there are references to suicide, anxiety and depression throughout and the portrayal of these could make them upsetting for some audience members

• The queens use miscarriages as a way to compete with each other

• The opening of the show could cause some anxiety or stress as Norma stands on stage for about five minutes in silence, just looking around, and personally, I felt worried that a sudden loud noise was going to occur, but nothing happened, and the show just started after a certain amount of time has elapsed

• The blackout occurs near the end of Act 2 when we see Norma and Joe on stage after Joe has removed his clothing and stood facing Norma. The theatre is first plunged into complete darkness, which includes turning off the emergency exit light and then the stage is slightly lit.

• Also during the blackout, gunshots occur and these are accompanied by a bright flash. Whilst you can sense when the gunshots are coming, the fact that they occur during the blackout means that you cannot correctly assume when the gunshots will occur. I will mention that whilst the warnings say that the gunshots are loud and the first one did make me jump due to not expecting it I did not find them too loud, however, I was sat in the Dress Circle so I cannot comment on how loud they are in other areas of the auditorium.

• The show mentions a suicide attempt in Act 1 and the actress for Norma appears on stage wearing stained bandages. They do mention her method as well as mentioning that she frequently attempts.
