Fast paced fun touching on every emotion!
"The musical was amazing! Explaining a serious historical event with unorthodox humor and highlighting the personalities (with all too familiar human strengths and failings) that made up MI5. The creativity, intelligence and talent of the superb actors made this one of the best broadway shows I’ve ever seen! So much heart and humor… I’m still smiling and it’s been 24 hours since I saw this masterpiece 😊"

Fantastic in every way but my seat!!
"I loved everything about this show—the story, the cast, the choreography, the music, the sets, the costumes, the variety of musical numbers… It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me leap to my feet at the curtain call! It was much more than I expected and I would highly recommend it. But don’t get seat R 119 or you will have a lot of trouble seeing around the head of the person in front of you. (The rest of the row was fine)"

Prepare for a thrill ride
"Operation Mincemeat is the most exciting, energetic, good-time, thrill of a musical I've seen in decades. I sat on the edge of my seat with a stupid grin on my face for the entire show -- that is, when I wasn't stifling a sob at a certain heartbreaking moment. The hugely talented, insanely energetic, tightly collaborative cast earned every millisecond of the instant standing ovation. I'd love to see it again."

Energetic
"Actors’ enthusiasm and energy were incredible. Managed to inject humor into the underlying story while retaining the dramatic and suspenseful moments.
The solo performed by the actor writing a letter to his departing lover was the high point — heartfelt and astonishingly beautiful "

A Big Breath of Fresh Air
"Operation Mincemeat was truly a breath of fresh air in today’s toxic environment. It was a rare combination of slap-stick humor, touching musical numbers (Dear Bill), and brilliant staging and direction….all performed by five wonderful actors who truly loved performing their roles. Sitting in the first row, we felt like we were part of the performance. How many shows both made my face break from smiling so much as well as shedding a few tears! Bravo!"

A wonderful show!
"There’s been a lot of buzz about Operation Mincemeat, so we bought tickets though we had no idea what it was really about. Who would have thought a show about WWII could have you laughing at one moment and wiping away tears another?! And the fact that just five actors perform EVERYTHING is incredible. It was definitely with a night in the town."

Songs and dance about WHAT??!!
"Other than being aware of the historic reference to Operation Mincemeat, I went into this performance with few ideas of what to expect. A musical about finding a dead body to fool the Nazis and change a historical event…sign me up! I laughed…a LOT! The songs were brilliant, the humor and more solemn moments perfectly executed, and the ending…well THAT has to be experienced! Kudos to the outrageously talented performers for giving us a laugh a minute (and some tears). I travelled from Atlanta, Georgia to enjoy this masterpiece of entertainment (and a couple of others before we leave town), so I encourage anyone with a love of theater, WWII history, or just a good time, to put this production on your list of things to see in NYC!"

Breathtaking
"They displayed a mastery of physical humor and timing that I didn’t know was possible.
But despite all the humor I was blindsided by the heart and raw truths. Their respect for the era, the suffering, and the subject matter was really touching.
This is what art should aspire to. "

Far more than I expected!
"The storyline was extremely interesting and enticed me into doing further research. The music and choreography was incredible but my favorite aspect was the way the actors (no spoilers!) were able to slip into every single role which definitely enhanced the story! Highly recommend! "

About
Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical
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?
