Operation Mincemeat
There are some big, blowsy shows around in the West End, but this little belter is staging its own audacious invasion plan.

Why see Operation Mincemeat?
The Greatest Tale Of Deception Ever Told
Winner of two Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical! This daring production recounts one of WWII's most unbelievable tales. Imagine Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, with a dash of Hamilton and One Man, Two Guv'nors. Operation Mincemeat spins a yarn of deception so extraordinary, it's hard to believe it played a crucial role in winning the war. The burning question: how did a well-dressed corpse outsmart Hitler?
Written by collective SplitLip, Operation Mincemeat's West End transfer comes following effusively reviewed stagings (22 five-star ones at that) at the New Diorama Theatre and the Southwark Playhouse, which saw the show win The Stage Debut award for Best Composer/Lyricist, the Off-West End award for Best Company Ensemble.
The current cast of Operation Mincemeat currently includes Emily Barber as Ewen Montagu & Others
Sen Carey as Charles Cholmondeley & Others, Chle Hart as Johnny Bevan & Others and many more. Don't miss your chance to enjoy this exciting new musical and hear this twisted chapter of our history, and how the ingenious plan saved 100s of lives!
