OPERATION MINCEMEAT the Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical and Broadway’s newest hit.

With 161 five-star reviews* and a Tony Award® to boot, the best-reviewed show in West End history has extended the UK leg of its World Tour! 

Here’s the briefing: The year is 1943, and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, OPERATION MINCEMEAT is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.   

Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and – of all people – Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?  

*Correct at the time of writing… not that we’re counting!

Age guidance: 5+ (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
Running time: 2 hours and 35 minutes (including an interval)
Show warnings: Flashing lights, strobe effects, theatrical haze, siren sound effects, and loud music.

Reviews

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

Taffy Brodesser-Akner, The New York Times

Pure theatrical serotonin

Hugh Montgomery, Metro

Part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors.

Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror

Before curtain I talked to a fan seeing this for the seventh time. I wondered why anyone would see the same show seven times. Now I know.

Neil Armstrong, Mail On Sunday

An unmissable night of theatre… if it's coming anywhere even close to you, then catch it while you can

Dianne Bourne, Manchester Evening News
