Operation Mincemeat
Operation Mincemeat is the Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical and Broadway’s newest hit. With 161 five-star reviews* and a Tony Award® to boot, the best-reviewed show in West End history has extended the UK leg of its World Tour!
Here’s the briefing: The year is 1943, and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.
Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and – of all people – Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?
*Correct at the time of writing… not that we’re counting!
“It’s not just the best musical I’ve ever seen; it’s the most rewarding theatrical experience I’ve ever had.”
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times
“Pure theatrical serotonin.”
Hugh Montgomery, Metro
“Part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors.”
Neil Norman, Daily Mirror
