It’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.
"The actual story I knew…but this was a comedic version and a musical. However, was still true to the story and still honored the story. Five talented actors played so many roles in quick succession that I lost count. My eyes welled up with tears during “Dear Bill” …. that performance is worth the price of admission…and a Tony. Go!"

A brilliantly funny show with brilliant performances...
"The show is very funny, very English.
And the love song near the end of Act One is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard on a stage.
I was slightly disappointed becase I'd heard the London show was , due to its British audiences, more raucous and better appreciated, so the atmosphere in the theater was wonderful and wild. Not so much here, although the audience did seem to love it.
Still. Great idea for a show, beautifully executed by the cast."

complete delight
"An truly exceptional cast. Very clever staging, high energy, funny and sad in turn. My only complaint is that the lyrics were hard to hear whenever several people were singing together and the song was fast."

Spycraft
"A dead body, a fake identity, and a scheme so wild it duped Hitler. Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, gender-bending spy musical that turns WWII history into a whip-smart, high-energy romp. With sharp wit, a killer score, and more twists than a Bond film, its espionage served with sass, sparkle, and serious brains.
True story. Totally ridiculous. Absolutely unmissable."

An Unforgettable Blend of History and Hilarity
"
I thoroughly enjoyed Operation Mincemeat. What stood out to me most was the incredible versatility of the cast—each actor took on multiple roles with such energy and animation that it brought the story to life in the most colorful and engaging way. Their ability to shift between characters added a dynamic layer to the performance that kept me captivated throughout.
The show, based on a true story, skillfully blended historical events with sharp humor. It managed to be both informative and wildly entertaining. The witty writing and clever staging added to the charm, making the entire experience feel fresh and inventive.
Overall, I found Operation Mincemeat to be a brilliant production. It was smart, funny, and completely unique—an absolute must-see!

Wonderful Show
"We missed this in the West End so were thrilled to be able to see it during our trip to New York. It delivered everything we expected and so much more. We expected it to be funny and it was - really funny, clever - very clever. Superbly staged and acted by all members of the cast. We didn't expect it to be so moving - I sobbed at the end. Truly a wonderful show - not to be missed. "

Clever and timeless
"Making the most of a wacky (yet true)anecdote from WWII, these 5 performers prove to have the comic, singing and acting chops to bring an audience to tears, cheers and a standing ovation, with inimitable timing and first rate performances. The writing is brilliant, the actors are fabulous and the music toe-tappingly good. Perfect way to spend a highly enjoyable afternoon or evening!"
