Operation Mincemeat

#1 BROADWAY SHOW OF 2O25 “A laugh-out-loud delight, with endless charm.. A breath of fresh air offering complex storytelling, masterful musical sequences, thoughtful themes, and an absolutely bonkers plot…There’s nothing else like it on Broadway.”

Entertainment Weekly, The 10 Best Broadway Shows of 2025

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.

Operation Mincemeat will make you laugh and cry, which is why audiences come back to see it again and again – it is the best-reviewed show in West End history with 88 five-star reviews and the #1 Broadway Show of 2025 (Entertainment Weekly).

What people are saying

“The year’s funniest musical…Against the odds, the “Operation Mincemeat” gang has found its way to the big time.”

Peter Marks, The Washington Post

★★★★★
“Before curtain up 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

★★★★★
“LAUGHING so hard I could barely breathe.”

Thea Jacobs, The Sun

“The reviews for the show have been ecstatic… the overwhelming impression is of hopefulness, expansiveness, possibility and joy.”

Alexis Soloski, The New York Times

“Operation Mincemeat is that rare thing: an original British musical… lyrics as smart and snappy as Hamilton and a book as silly as the greatest slapstick comedies”

Isobel Lewis, The Independent

“My far-and-away favorite production.”

Helen Shaw, The New Yorker

★★★★★
“Pure theatrical serotonin”

Hugh Montgomery, Metro

“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.”

Naveen Kumar, The Washington Post

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

Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror
