Why see Operation Mincemeat?

World War II Comedy Musical On Tour

The best reviewed show in West End history!

After an incredible West End premiere that saw it take home the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, followed by an ongoing Tony Award-winning run on Broadway, this audacious World War II musical now comes to you on this much-anticipated national tour.

Telling the true story of deception so incredible, you won't believe it helped the British ultimately win the war, the show is brimming with humor, showstopping musical numbers, and impeccable choreography. Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train meets Hamilton, this plucky little Brit-com that could is a guaranteed great night out and a bizarre history lesson combined! See our own five-star review below.

What Is The Story?

The year is 1943, and right now, the Allies are losing the war. Luckily, we're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a TrainOperation 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 - James Bond creator, Ian Fleming, come together to wrong-foot Hitler?
