Very good and creative fun!
"I really enjoyed the performance. It was incredible how many characters and costume changes 5 people were able to pull off while staying in character, singing and dancing. A true triumph. My only complaint is it seemed to copy some of the Hamilton style."

"Entertaining in that the flow of the story kept one interested. Light humor and the cast look as if they are really enjoying being a part.
Music also delightful "

It could have been better
"The actors are very good. But there's a lot of the music that's very hard to understand. And there's a few things in the play that are very "over acted". In addition to this we saw Buena Vista Social Club, Two Strangers and Great Gadsby and this is number 4 on the list. "

Clever, inventive, and at times frenetic show
"I probably need to see it again to catch all the clever word play in the song lyrics and staging maneuvers . It kept my complete attention the whole time. The staging and choreography were delightful. I don’t think children would “get” it."

Worth the Watch
"Was interested in this niche show based on reviews stating how hilarious it was. It was certainly good. The first act was a bit slow but I was laughing the whole second act. Not sure I’d see it again but I’m glad I saw it. The ticket prices were a bit steep for a show with 5 actors and piped in music. The 5 actors were so talented. Well written and performed!!"

"Musical comedy about spying is absurd on the face of it. Once past that, the stage design is excellent and the singing is great. "

The British slapstick humor gets old fast.

Fast paced and very good
"The first ten to fifteen minutes were off-putting for me and I did not think I would like it. Character development, getting use to the fast paced dialogue and the performers playing many different characters. But once I adjusted and became comfortable, understanding how this was working it was fantastic. The characters switching hats so often was fun and showed their range. The story telling was wonderful, but we did not catch all the dialogue (fast paced). Liked the moments of tongue and cheek scenes. What made it very good was it was based upon a true story, which we were aware of prior to the show. We recommend this show."

Amazing Performance Only Marred By Sound
"That five actors showed so such versatility and energy over the length of the musical was impressive. Our only complaint was it was hard to understand the words of the early songs. It was if the mics were off or orchestra too loud."

A lovely broadway experience
"Though I am not particularly fond of musicals, I found OM to have an extremely talented crew of 5
actors/ dancers/ singers were they all!
It had charm and an old fashion fun feel to it"

Similar to Hamilton but…
"It’s similar to Hamilton in the way that there is a lot of rap and fast talking, however, each song sounds the same with exception of Dear Bill. Imagine someone said to you, “Sing a broadway sounding song!” then you can imagine the music in this play. However, Dear Bill, was so powerful that grown men were shedding tears. The plot is fun and the end is ridiculously hilarious. I truly enjoyed the show through and through. It’s just the music that is not up to par. The beginning of the second act is wonderful. Still laughing at that joke. "

Slow to start but got better and better…
"It was a little confusing to begin - with men playing women’s roles and vice versa, seemed somewhat slapstick.
The first half ended with ‘Dear Bill’ - and this performance was even better than the original recorded version.
The show finished strong and was thoroughly enjoyable. Well done to all."

Slow start Glitzy finale
"Great performance and staging by five people. The interactions between the actors is a the reason to go to see live performances. The initial part of act 1 is slow as they build the story and picks up considerably before intermission. Act 2 is an energizing funny ride. Buy your tickets - be sure to see this group!!!"

What's All the Fuss About?
"Very silly, very British humor. Couldn't always understand the characters'/actors' spoken or sung words. Almost too much enthusiasm. (Maybe it was an homage to wartime British comedy?) Can remember only one song two days later, mostly because it was too long. Considered leaving after Act I, but wanted to know the ending of the story. Not sure why such a compelling story got the farce treatment when it ultimately was more of a memoriam. I was confused by that."

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?
