It’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.
Directed by 2023 Olivier Award nominee Robert Hastie and choreographed by Olivier Award nominee Jenny Arnold, Operation Mincemeat will begin performances on Saturday, February 15, 2025, with an official opening night of Thursday, March 20.
The extraordinary debut musical is written and composed by the comedy group, SpitLip, featuring David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts. Casting for the Broadway premiere will be announced soon.
