About the Show
2024 Best New Musical Olivier Award Winner
It's 1943 and Churchill needs a new plan to hit the Germans where it hurts, and there's only one thing for it - Operation Mincemeat!
Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, 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?
Written and performed by Spitlip, this new musical, based on the incredible true story, took home two Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, and plays to sold out audiences every night at London's Fortune Theatre.

I booked up to see this after my daughter had said how fantastic this was. It did not disappoint! It had us laughing from the start which was surprising as it is based on a real operation that took place during WWII. The actors were so versatile as they changed from one character to another and it was easy to emphasize with them at the appropriate moments. Well deserving of their recent awards.
