The year is 1943 and 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, Noël Coward meets Noel Fielding, the Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?

Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is directed by award-winning theatre group Splitlip, who are known for their fast-paced comedy and glam-punk music. This witty production follows their trademark stamp, because critics everywhere have praised its cleverly written humour and toe-tapping soundtrack.

This gung-ho musical could be just what the West End needs

- The Evening Standard

A joyously homegrown new comedy musical. The show is witty, mocking, camp and joyous, not to mention immensely tuneful
