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."

Top class entertainment
"What a show. Fast paced, great music, laugh out loud at times but some somber moments too. The fact it’s based on a true story influencing the outcome of WW2 makes it all the better. Unhesitating standing ovation at the end from the entire audience. First class performance. "

Incredible
"What a fantastic show. 5 actors playing 20+ characters, the quick change outfits and sets were amazing. The music is 10/10, so I didn't expect the actual stage show to be top notch, but it was. The show has a lot of comedy, and also a lot of emotion... and it's a true story! We see a lot of musicals here in Denver, so I'm very happy that my first show on Broadway was this good."

How much fun can five performers create!!
"Amazing cast. Fun story. Great music. The β€œletter” β€œDear Bill” (you have to go just to hear this!) was some of the most exquisite writing I’ve ever heard on a stage and Jak Malone’s performance was one you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Brush up on the overall plot first before you go. It will allow you to catch on sooner and more easily. I just LOVED this show in every imaginable way! "

Operation - get-you-to-come-back-again-it-is-so-good!
"Few shows are as fun, exciting, surprising, and touching! It is hard to say what was the most captivating- the music, the dancing, the characters or the story-line. The cast was outstanding, including the two understudies. I intend to return with friends. The music lyrics are very fast-paced, so I know I will enjoy hearing it all again and picking up anything I may have missed. "

Great play, see the movie or learn about the operation before going to the
"The play was great! I would recommend that a person should get a preview of the operation before going to the play. I saw the movie. I attended the play with two people who told me they would not have been able to follow the play if we had not talked about the operation in advance. I was curious how they would turn the movie into a play. I was pleasantly surprised to see how the mo is was portrayed in a musical and a comedy!"

Favorite new musical
"This show was a complete delight! I smiled through the entire performance. Each member of the cast was exceptional, and we had two understudies. I can't imagine that the other cast members could have been better. They each brought such personality to the roles. The story, music, and staging were all fantastic. I am recommending Operation Mincement to everyone I know!"

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?
