"This show is deeply hilarious, unique, entertaining, wild because it's based on true events! I laughed, I cried, and the book is wonderful. It has it all, a story that's so crazy because it's true, great acting, beautiful songs, hilarity and heart."

Must See More Than Once!
"Five actors animate scores of characters in this relentless, hilarious, and moving account of one of military history's stranger true episodes. The physical comedy is as good as it gets - think the antic energy of American Vaudeville/Monty Python/Benny Hill - balanced by deeply felt emotional moments and virtuosic singing and dance. Tracking the quick changes alone is enough of a reason to see it again, but all of the performances taken individually and as an ensemble represent the best of Broadway. Thoroughly enjoyable, artful, and meaningful. Highly recommend."

Broadway Genius at its best!
"We loved this true story brought to life in the most lively and outrageously funny musical presentation. The small cast was brilliant in their comedic acting and timing with the fluid movement and change of roles and costumes like we loved in the 'Play That Goes Wrong' and 'A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder’. The musical diversity was pure genius and reminded me of the songs we loved so much in 'Hamilton' and 'Something Rotten'. This play has certainly weighed heavily on the greatest theater elements of many hit musicals and brought them together magically with an amazing cast. While I recommend everyone see this play, I wouldn't recommend it for children as the adult themes and storyline may not make sense or keep their attention."

God That's Brilliant!
"LOVED this fast-moving show! Would go again just to catch all the nuances. Could hardly believe the story when watching the movie a couple years ago. Rewatched it the night before the musical, which turned out to be a smart thing to do as everything moves so quickly. The performers were incredible - all five (or 80?) of them! Think " Vaudeville meets Hamilton" and enjoy yourselves!

Pleasant Surprise
"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but this show was very funny! The performers voices were strong and the songs were good. I liked the way that five people all played several roles.
No huge negatives from my point of view. The story line was sometimes hard to follow, but it all comes together."

The BEST Musical I've ever seen!
"I LOVE musicals - I've pretty much seen them all - and Operation Mincemeat is hands-down THE BEST musical I've ever seen! If you're seeking a fast-paced clever show, actors oozing with singing/dancing/acting talent, memorable songs, incredible storyline, ingenious costumes and staging, and a chance to experience sheer joy and also shed a few tears then be sure not to miss this show. Makes you feel good all over. Its the way musicals used to be AND hopefully should be/are going to be - it takes the best of all past and present aspects and the result is simply marvelous. "

A Wild Ride
"The singing, the harmonies, the music and the choreography were all superb. The way the actors changed characters was mind boggling and a little hard to follow sometimes. Also, the acoustics could be improved, we sat upstairs and missed some of the dialogue. If the theater would provide listening devices for those of us that are hard of hearing, that would have helped. But overall, it was fantastic, wild and great theatrical experience."

Absolutely Phenomenal
"This was a truly revolutionary show, expertly performed. While the show was about history, the production was from 3026! Gender norms were tossed out the window in a really beautiful way. Somehow the entire cast was only 5, but they sounded like 15. The set and costumes were changing out so fast you couldn't even keep track. The show was hilarous and heartfelt. I was left in absolute awe. I couldn't rank this show high enough or recommend it strongy enough. "

A lot with a little
"This is an amazing show with only 5 cast members. Great singing, dancing, score, acting, sets, and costumes. So well done with so little. Little space, small cast, and huge heart. We saw Sam Hartley the understudy for Jeff Kready playing Hester Leggatt. Sam stole the show. Sam’s rendition of “Dear Bill” literally had the audience in tears. We loved this show and story. Our only criticism was Julia Knitel was a little much. Felt forced and to over the top. "

Don’t blink, you don’t want to miss a minute of this show!
"I could not tear my eyes away from that stage! Every song, dance, and comedic scene (which there were a lot of) was perfectly preformed. I could not count on all of my fingers and toes how many time I laughed out loud to this show. The cast had me captivatingly silent, on the verge of crying, and falling out of my seat laughing.
I wish I could see it again a million times like it was the first time.
And shout out to Julia Knitel! Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t stop watching her! She made an outstanding Montague."

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?
