BEST NEW MUSICAL
The best reviewed show in West End history
The year is 1943 and 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, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
“The reviews have been ecstatic”
“The Brits have made the year’s funniest musical”
“Part Mel Brooks, part Six, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors.”
“This little belter is staging its own audacious invasion plan.”
“Irrepressible wartime musical is a West End triumph.”
“A gloriously inventive wartime romp.”
“A pythonesque wartime romp that doesn’t short change the intellect.”
“Laughing so hard I could barely breath is not what I expected for a musical about a World War II top-secret plan…”
“Unfortunately five stars is the limit, I would happily give many more.”
“The little show that roared in the face of bloated blockbusters has executed a flawless transition to mainstream triumph.”
“Pure theatrical serotonin.”
“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.”
“The West End show you need tickets for, now. Operation Mincemeat is this summer’s smash hit.”
“My Far-and-away favorite production.”
