It’s 1943, and the Allies are losing ground in World War II—until British intelligence hatches a bizarre and high-stakes plan to mislead Hitler. Operation Mincemeat follows the unbelievable true story of how a stolen corpse, a forged identity, and a carefully crafted love letter were used to stage one of the most daring deception operations in military history. Told with sharp wit and infectious energy, the musical reimagines real-life espionage as a whirlwind of schemes, secrets, and stiff-upper-lip absurdity.

The show arrives on Broadway following a record-breaking run in London’s West End, where our London community score the show to Audience Acclaimed status, and it won the 2024 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. Written and performed by the British comedy and musical collective SpitLip, the ensemble cast plays dozens of roles at breakneck speed in a production that has been hailed as “Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train.”

With its roots in historical truth and its heart in irreverent theatricality, Operation Mincemeat brings a uniquely British lens to Broadway. It's a spy story where the heroes wear tweed, the jokes are rapid-fire, and the fate of the world hinges on a corpse with a briefcase.
