Why go and see it?

After sold-out runs at New Diorama Theatre (2019) and Southwark Playhouse (2020, 2021 & 2022), plus an extended Riverside Studios run this summer, Operation Mincemeat transfers to the West End.

Already having received twenty-two 5-star reviews, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is set to be the theatre sensation of the year. Dubbed “a masterclass of macabre musical comedy” and “an absolute triumph” by critics, this brilliant show is one not to miss.

Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noël Coward meets Noel Fielding, the Operation Mincemeat musical is as comical as it is fascinating. Reimagining the 1943 espionage, watch as bungling British intelligence officers carry out an absurd scheme that will eventually win us the war. Can a well-dressed corpse really trick the enemies?

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.

Book your tickets to see the one-of-a-kind performance today.

What the critics say

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

- Suzi Feay, The Financial Times

a miraculous musical that tells the entire story in a kind of accelerated farce that is part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors.

- Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror

But whoof! It blew the roof clean off. Hoots and tears welcomed this ingenious, touching musical. Taut lyrics, vintage gags, a wild tale and tunes that followed me out into the night air, in hums and whistles. Perfection… An artisanal masterpiece

- The Daily Mail
