How did a dead body, a fake love letter, and — of all people — Ian Fleming turn the tide of World War II? Olivier Award winner for Best New Musical and a 2025 Tony® winner, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is the best-reviewed show in West End history with 88 five-star reviews and the #1 Broadway Show of 2025 (Entertainment Weekly). 

It’s 1943 and the Allies are on the ropes. Luckily, they’re about to gamble our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, it’s the fast-paced, hilarious true story of the secret mission that won WWII.

Pure theatrical serotonin.

In the spirit of Austin Powers, Monty Python and the high-concept farce of Alan Ayckbourn, Operation Mincemeat is both unabashedly goofy and exceptionally smart.

This is rated 0 out of 5 stars

A laugh-out-loud delight, with endless charm. . .A breath of fresh air offering complex storytelling, masterful music sequences, thoughtful themes, and an absolutely bonkers plot. . .There’s nothing else like it on Broadway.

It's not just the best musical I've seen; it's the most rewarding theatrical experience I've ever had.
