extended for the seventh time!
Winner of two Olivier Awards including Best New Musical! This audacious little show about an audacious plan regales audiences with one of WWII's most impossible stories! Billed as Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding with a bit of Hamilton and One Man Two Guv'nors thrown in, Operation Mincemeat tells the story of deception so incredible, you won't believe it helped us ultimately win the war - The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
Written by collective SplitLip, Operation Mincemeat's West End transfer comes following effusively reviewed stagings (22 five-star ones at that) at the New Diorama Theatre and the Southwark Playhouse, which saw the show win The Stage Debut award for Best Composer/Lyricist, the Off-West End award for Best Company Ensemble.
Don't miss your chance to enjoy this exciting new musical and hear this twisted chapter of our history, and how the ingenious plan saved 100s of lives!
