Operation Mincemeat`s original cast goes to Broadway!

The multi-award-winning musical will run from 15 February

Following five sold-out development runs at the New Diorama Theatre in 2019 and Southwark Playhouse in 2020, 2021 & 2022, plus an extended Riverside Studios, Operation Mincemeat made the West End debut at The Fortune Theatre in May 2023.

Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, and Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won Britain World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?

Operation Mincemeat is written and composed by David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts, who form SpitLip. The show is presented in the West End by Avalon (in association with SpitLip), who have supported since the Southwark Playhouse runs. The Official London Cast Recording is produced by Grammy Award-winning and Tony, Emmy, and Olivier award-nominated Steve Sidwell. The original cast recording album was released on CD, vinyl, streaming and digital platforms in May 2023
