Marvelous!
"A great musical re-imagining of a critically important secret mission in WWII. Certainly dead serious at the time it’s now infused with music, dance, and even comedy while celebrating and honoring such meaningful exploits! "

So entertaining and timely
"Operation Mincemeat was a laugh out loud, great time while also being incredibly moving and timely. The 5 cast members were outstanding and I truly do not know they keep up that energy show after show. We also loved the incredibly clever staging. We recommend getting an overview of the actual WW2 operation this was based on to help you enjoy the show. We went with our history buff grown son who gave us the details in advance which really helped! Congratulations! Brilliantly done!"

A wonderful show
"I didn't know what to expect walking into the theater. I read the The Man Who Never Was over 40 years ago and didn't know how they could turn this spy thriller into a musical. I was thrilled with the results. It was funny, it was well acted, it was moving. The song Dear Bill was so moving and there was a two minute ovation from the audience at the end of the song.
I especially appreciated the balance between the singing and orchestra. I had just been to a Disney show the night before where the orchestra was too loud and drowned out the voices on stage. I appreciated being able to hear the singers.
Some of the material wasn't necessary in my opinion (Das Ubermensch) and there were a few too many patter songs where I couldn't catch all the words. But the overall production was one of the best shows I have ever seen on Broadway. "

Cheeky Brits Strike Again!
"Leave it to the British to find musical comedy in a daring, true tale of WWII subterfuge. And Jak Malone reduces the entire house to tears with his performance of 'Dear Bill'. A complete delight."

Not the usual British humor
"I wasn't sure what to expect when going in because some British humor is different than ours. Aside from not understanding a few lines because of their accent I absolutely found it very funny. The talent of the group is amazing. It was well done!"

Hilarious musical comedy of a WWII secret mission
"I watched a British espionage thriller "The Man Who Never Was" in 1956 and realized the 2021 Netflix film "Operation Mincemeat" was an updated film based on a true story of British Intelligence during WWII. Today, the British have developed a highly hilarious musical comedy which will leave you laughing until the final curtain. Because many of us cannot follow British english easily, it would be helpful to find music and lyrics of the show on the internet before you attend the stage show. Try YouTube. Enjoy!"

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?
