Variety

"This is the musical you didn't know you needed—until you see the expert cast of five embracing and racing through a clutch of preposterous yet endearing characters and musical styles, telling a story with delicious precision."

Variety

David Benedict

The Washington Post

"Oh, do laugh, deary. The Brits have made the year's funniest musical."

The Washington Post

Peter Marks

"A miraculous musical that tells the entire story in a kind of accelerated farce that is part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors."

Hard to hear…
"If you do go, set your expectations low. It ends better than it starts…it builds and gets better as it goes on. The actors are very hard to understand especially when they are all singing at the same time. They would all benefit from better annunciation."

Actually mincemeat
"Not particularly funny or clever as ads would lead you to believe. Actors were impressive in their quick changes but the story is bland, veering from attempted comedy to melodrama. A miss. "

About Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical

It’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.
