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.
"Very well written and acted show. A company of 5, but so many characters. A very funny and fun show. A knowledge of British humor will help. "

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!"

A clever, hilarious, delightful romp!
"We both read the book and saw the movie, thoroughly enjoying both. We couldn't imagine how this serious story could be turned into a musical comedy. Being avid theatre goers we couldn't resist and hoped for the best.
We were absolutely blown away; it was extremely clever, the actors superb, the staging over the top; we simply couldn't stop laughing, which wasn't always easy as our mouths were frequently open in amazement.
This was Broadway at its best."

Do NOT miss Operation Mincemeat! It is the best musical out there!
"This show had EVERYTHING! An amazingly versatile cast that could sing, dance, act, and change characters in a flash. The numbers were a feast for the ears and eyes. The quick-witted, British humor was balanced with soft, sentimental moments that gave such texture to the show. I attend several shows a year, and although I appreciate and enjoy them all, Operation Mincemeat is my new favorite. I think the best compliment I can give the show is that right after the applause ended and we got up from our seats, we were all wondering how soon we would be coming back to see it again. "

A Must See
"If you like Mel Brooks + Hamilton + Two Guvnors, you’ll love Operation: Mincemeat. It’s a great musical comedy with 5 actors playing 20+ characters with incredible costume change and comedic timing. Highly recommend this show!"

Packed with laughter but also emotion
"The small cast manages to play many characters, each fully realized. And the humour is fast and brilliant. Yet the situation is deadly serious and the story is true. I laughed a lot except when I had a lump in my throat. I want to see it again!"

Original and Riveting!
"It is so refreshing to see a new and witty musical make it through the noise nowadays. A wickedly talented (small) cast expertly tells a serious story in the most funny way. At the same time, they pay homage and honor when needed. A hoot and a holler!"

"What an amazing show. The story was great, as was the music, particularly the Letter to Bill song. Very funny cast, even if the topic was serious. Amazed that only 5 people are in this show, they move from character to character so fluidly. This is one I will see again. Truly superb!"
