Phenomenal experience
"So impressed that words escape me. The script, the acting, the music, the humor,… All were such a positive and fantastic experience. I totally understand why people see this show more than once. I am already planning my next attendance. Five actors playing multiple roles. I did a double take because each play the individual role so well that I never would’ve guessed they were only five actors.
We saw multiple shows. My favorite experience of the weekend.
I LOVED Operation Mincemeat!"

Top of their game.
"The cast and crew of the show were absolutely stunning in their performances and timing while doing stunning stunts and visually amazing performances. The range of the cast was breathtaking, and i literally mean they took my breath away as I was doubling over with laughter.
This was one of the best theatrical surprises I have seen since I first started attending shows some 45 years ago.
Thank you to all of the cast and crew and to everyone who had a hand in what I'm calling a theatrical triumph. "

Better than Hamilton
"This is my absolute favorite musical. Hamilton and Les Mis are, in my opinion, both perfect 10’s and were my favorites forever. This one goes to 11. It’s insanely good. So much heart, creativity, humor, and insane talent on display. Just go see it. You will not regret it. "

Hilarious
"Laugh out loud funny and characters developed so well that you root for all of them. Songs vacillate between silly and serious and the performances are incredible. I liken it to the British Hamilton. It’s that clever"

Hilarious rendition of an important historical event
"Laughed constantly with this British musical. This show made a serious piece of history that was obviously a tense and scary time totally hilarious. The music is fun and entertaining. The actors are perfect. "

Prepare to laugh!
"There is nothing we didn't like about this show. It delivered from start to finish. The cast was top tier; We didn't even realize until intermission that several understudies were performing that afternoon.
What a fantastic, funny telling of a story we knew nothing about. Highly recommend Mincemeat for all. Already considering a second helping ourselves. "

So much more than you thought you were going to see!
"I had been listening to the music for a year. But seeing all of the performances gave each song so much more meaning. The innovative and creative set design and how they can create so many characters with just the 5 actors on stage. The sound was so full with just again 5 actors and a minimal group of musicians. The Dear Bill number brought the house to tears. So spectacularly acted and performed. Surprises galore. Highly Recommend you go see this one!"

Absolute delight of a show
"Really incredible how 5 actors took a true. story that might be seen as dull and turned it into a really delightful fun experience! Great songs. Some hints of Hamilton style but still kept its own identity. Very funny. Talented acting. Great fast moving and clever choreography."

"YES!!!!!! You must see this show! Unless you absolutely, positively hate laughing, chuckling, giggling and slapping your thigh from sheer amusement!
I often tell myself that I'm not into musicals, but wait! I find this musical to be creative, funny as funny can get. As a student of history, I love that this play is based on an actual historical event.
Do yourself a favor - see this play!!!"

I laughed. I cried…
"Learning the plot of this play many months ago sparked my interest so much that I watched the drama of the same name. My curiosity sparked trying to imagine how this very serious story would be transformed to a musical comedy. The cast delivered! Loved it all! The music the dancing, the story! I recommend knowing the story prior."

Everything I could have hoped for!
"Amazing show. The talent of this cast is off the charts. The show kept me engaged for absolutely every minute. So, so funny. I have heard it compared to a Month Python-seque show. I’m not a fan of slapstick or overly-physical humor, but this show was smart, witty and funny. The music included a ballad that brought me to tears and showed me the range of the script and the cast. I heard a few people in the audience complaining that they couldn’t understand a lot of the songs; I was surprised to hear that and had no issues myself with hearing/understanding. Overall, this is a new favorite for me and highly recommend it!"

"I am not an aficionado of musical theater by any stretch, but I have seen a fair number, particularly when I was much younger. I think this one is the best produced I have ever seen – the entire choreography and synchronization of singing, dancing, costume, and set, the talent of each cast members and the reception of the audience – WOW!!
then there's the staff - TOP OF THE LINE!!!

About
Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical
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?
