"The acting was amazing, the fact that the stars were playing different genders so convincingly was amazing.
Jak played Hester so well and was in character the whole time (except for when he played his other characters) and switched seamlessly to the other characters.
We absolutely loved it all and would definitely see it again. "

Fantastic!
"I wasn’t sure what to expect but I had been told Operation Mincemeat was good. That was an understatement. First of all the story was highly enjoyable, both funny and touching at times. Secondly, the music was wonderful. And lastly the actors were incredible talented. The 5 actors changed character almost undetectably and became a totally believable new person instantly. The timing is perfect. Their voices and harmony were superb. "

Such energy and talent from just five performers!
"It’s different than any other Broadway musical I’ve seen, in that the whole performance is done by only five leads switching roles multiple times. Very talented and engaging performers! Nicely done sets as well. Also love the historical bent, brought to life both poignantly and with a hefty dose of dry wit. "
"This is a brilliant production. i’m in awe of the set design, clever lyrics, success in portraying this story and honoring a heroic mission.
The talent is incredibly talented and perfect for this performance.
Worthy of the standing ovation! "

So Glad WE Went!
"This musical was recommended by my niece based solely on a song she had heard. We decided to go mainly because we had seen most of the other musicals that had been running for a long time.
We were so pleasantly surprised. The cast, the music, the energy, the humor and the staging were truly amazing. This is a musical like nothing you have seen. So glad we went, and want to go again, next time we are in NYC."

We all stand together
"I loved Operation Mincemeat. Based on a true story in the history of WWII, Operation Mincemeat is by turns funny, poignant, outrageous, irreverent, comic, tragic, farcical, clever and cunning, and a joy throughout. The 5 actors portray an unlimited permutation of roles, with women performing trouser roles, men performing as women, and everyone thoroughly enjoying what they're doing. The voices are excellent and Jak Malone will bring a tear to the eye as Hester Legett as he performs Dear Bill. There are brief tips of the hat to shows like Hamilton and Jacques Brel, and dance numbers that recall Beyonce's All the Single Ladies as well as music hall glitz. It's British farce all the way as it also honors a moment in history that not everyone has heard about. Go, you won't regret it!"

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?
