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

Why see Operation Mincemeat?
The Greatest Tale Of Deception Ever Told
Winner of two Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical!
This daring production recounting one of WWII's most unbelievable tales is on tour across the UK! Imagine Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, with a dash of Hamilton and One Man, Two Guv'nors. Operation Mincemeat spins a yarn of deception so extraordinary, it's hard to believe it played a crucial role in winning the war. The burning question: how did a well-dressed corpse outsmart Hitler?
Written by collective SplitLip, Operation Mincemeat's UK tour comes following an Olivier-winning run on London's West End and a Tony-nominated run on New York's Broadway.
Don't miss your chance to enjoy this exciting comedy musical and hear this twisted chapter of our history, and how the ingenious plan saved 100s of lives!
