OPERATION MINCEMEAT is Coming to Broadway!

OPERATION MINCEMEAT, winner of the 2024 Olivier Award for Best Musical, crosses over from London with an enthusiastic regiment of fans. Popular with all ages, this fast-paced, hilarious, and unbelievable true story depicts the secret mission that won WWII. Inspired by a popular “Stuff You Should Know” podcast, the creators star as multiple roles each in this hilarious farce.

Set in 1943, Operation Mincemeat explores the true story of a secret military operation meant to turn the tide of the war. With the Allies losing, the British military develop an idea: to use the well-dressed corpse of a homeless man to feed Hitler and his advisors incorrect information.

The show opened in London’s West End in 2023, going on to win two 2024 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical.

The musical is written and composed by comedy group SpitLip, comprised of David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts. Directed by Robert Hastie and choreographed by Jenny Arnold, the original London cast, including Cumming, Claire-Marie Hall, Hodgson, Olivier winner Jak Malone, and Roberts, will each make their respective Broadway debuts.
