Why see Operation Mincemeat?
World War II Comedy Musical Comes To Broadway!
Don't miss Tony and Olivier winner Jak Malone in this Plucky British musical!
After an incredible London run and winning the Olivier Award for Best New Musical followed by its ongoing run on Broadway, this audacious World War II musical is going on tour! Operation Mincemeat tells a true story of deception so incredible, you won't believe it helped the British ultimately win the war. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
Written by collective SplitLip, Operation Mincemeat's tour comes following sold-out runs on London's West End and winning the Olivier and WhatsOnStage award for 'Best New Musical' alongside its current glowing Broadway run.
What Is The Plot?
Set in 1943, Operation Mincemeat follows two British intelligence officers as they devise a risky plan to mislead the German army via a stolen corpse and planted evidence. Described as a 'glorious combination of ingenious, silly and surprisingly moving' (The Telegraph), this perfect mix of historic storytelling and gut-busting comedy makes this a musical not to miss!
