Operation Mincemeat is the musical that audiences didn't know they were eagerly awaiting, and it’s making a big impact on Broadway! The show is based on the true events of the 1943 British deception operation of the same name, where a cunningly disguised corpse was used to mislead the Axis powers about the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II. While it might sound like a plot from a suspense thriller, this captivating story is entirely true—and now it’s the basis for a wildly inventive and laugh-out-loud musical!
Already an Olivier-winning hit in London, Operation Mincemeat charms with its perfect mix of humor, historical intrigue, and incredibly catchy songs. Originally slated for a 16-week limited engagement, overwhelming demand from theatregoers led to an extension shortly after it opened, showcasing its strong appeal. Adding to its Broadway debut's excitement is the return of the original London cast, bringing their award-winning performances to the U.S. Their outstanding chemistry and seasoned portrayals make for top-notch entertainment, and each performance feels both novel and warmly familiar to both newcomers and those familiar with the show. If you're a history buff, a fan of musical comedies, or simply looking for an entertaining night out, Operation Mincemeat hits the mark.
