Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical

Synopsis

Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical , the 2025 Tony Award® winner for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Jak Malone), and was named the #1 Broadway Show of 2025 (Entertainment Weekly).

The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. 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—Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?
