Absolute delight of a show
"Really incredible how 5 actors took a true. story that might be seen as dull and turned it into a really delightful fun experience! Great songs. Some hints of Hamilton style but still kept its own identity. Very funny. Talented acting. Great fast moving and clever choreography."

Some Are Meant to Lead and some are...
"YES!!!!!! You must see this show! Unless you absolutely, positively hate laughing, chuckling, giggling and slapping your thigh from sheer amusement! I often tell myself that I'm not into musicals, but wait! I find this musical to be creative, funny as funny can get. As a student of history, I love that this play is based on an actual historical event. Do yourself a favor - see this play!!!"

I laughed. I cried…
"Learning the plot of this play many months ago sparked my interest so much that I watched the drama of the same name. My curiosity sparked trying to imagine how this very serious story would be transformed to a musical comedy. The cast delivered! Loved it all! The music the dancing, the story! I recommend knowing the story prior."

Everything I could have hoped for!
"Amazing show. The talent of this cast is off the charts. The show kept me engaged for absolutely every minute. So, so funny. I have heard it compared to a Month Python-seque show. I’m not a fan of slapstick or overly-physical humor, but this show was smart, witty and funny. The music included a ballad that brought me to tears and showed me the range of the script and the cast. I heard a few people in the audience complaining that they couldn’t understand a lot of the songs; I was surprised to hear that and had no issues myself with hearing/understanding. Overall, this is a new favorite for me and highly recommend it!"

"I am not an aficionado of musical theater by any stretch, but I have seen a fair number, particularly when I was much younger. I think this one is the best produced I have ever seen – the entire choreography and synchronization of singing, dancing, costume, and set, the talent of each cast members and the reception of the audience – WOW!! then there's the staff - TOP OF THE LINE!!! and, speaking of lines, most efficient bathroom break EVER!!!"

Very Funny & Entertaining
"The show was very funny and very well cast. I took my wife as part of our anniversary weekend and she loved it. We had two understudies and you wouldn't have known. Sam Hartley was especially great as Hester and others. We both highly recommend. "

Surprisingly entertaining
"Since this musical is based on an event during WW II I was not expecting it to be so entertaining. The War was treated with respect and many songs were very moving. "

E Anne H from Arnold on Dec 7, 2025
A very humorous take on history.
"We thoroughly enjoyed the London cast that opened here in New York City. I had seen the movie sometime ago and found this to be a clever, recounting of a very important, but unknown, time in history of World War II. Each cast member was perfect in their delivery and abilities to sing and dance. I'd recommend the show to anyone who likes a good musical and especially anyone who is interested in history told in a manner that makes it easy to understand and appreciate."

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?
