"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! "

A amazing feat!
"I went into this show knowing very little about it. What is accomplished with an on-stage cast of 5, with the costume changes and set changes, is truly a marvel. The songs were great. And I was thrilled to see Gerianne Perez as Montague! "

The cast of 5 play many different roles and there is no confusing who are the playing, even when scenes change quickly. They are all genius level performers! Huge laughs throughout the entire show. Loved every second of this and would watch it again and again! "

Engrossing Musical
"The cast was great. It was hard to believe that five actors could span so many characters. Oh my gosh, how did they accomplish so many wardrobe changes. Must be lots of rip away outfits. The show will definitely leave you laughing and singing many of the songs as you exit the theater. "

Unexpectedly Wonderful
"I didn't know much about Operation Mincemeat other than it was based on a true story. I wondered how they would turn a WWII British counterintelligence mission into a musical. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I was captivated, engaged, amused, and heartbroken in turn. What a fantastic use of a small cast and small stage. The incredibly talented actors were so versatile. The use of mobile set pieces was brilliant. My favorite moment in show was, without a doubt, Dear Bill. I was weeping by the end of the song and even now just thinking about it will bring tears to my eyes. I highly recommend this musical. You won't regret it."

script, actors, staging!
"Five actors, a few dozen characters, a simple plot and a dazzlingly complex staging!
The most riotous male character is played by a woman, the most moving woman played by a man.
It is amazing how the second world war keeps providing the basis of art, grueling to hilarious. It's also an important way of learning and remembering. This is an example of the exhilarating sort. Maybe one day we cn laugh at what we're going through now..."

Loved it!
"I especially enjoyed the unique British
Form of humor! The posturing, the pseudo slapstick, and also the music!
Wonderful show, & performances;
Even a poignant love story!
It was also a really funny treatment of a story in WWII, never told in this format.
A serious topic, but gets the message across!"

5 characters play a bushel of roles
"The many and varied roles played by only 5 people was a challenge, but the cast was more than up to it. How they continuously changed outfits and characters was amazing and hilarious. Sets and how they were moved around to change where the action was taking place was very clever. Voices excellent and dancing exuberant and fun. Top-notch!"

Cast of 5 wows as if they were 50
"My daughter and I went to Operation Mincemeat during our recent trip to NYC because she’d heard a podcast about the true story of Operation Mincemeat- what? a corpse as a red herring helped the Allies invasion of Italy? Never heard of it before! I saw a few interviews with performers before the show so I knew a little of the backstory about the making of the show- not much of a budget and a cast of more characters than could be paid- so the just bought hats to allow 5 people play nearly 100 (that was what they said in the interview, but I thought it was more like 50- not that I was counting characters…)
Great energy, fun performances, engaging story, good music, impressive costumes (& costume changes), and creative sets. It’s all there. I definitely want to see it again."

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?
