*Operation Mincemeat* is a four-time Tony Award-nominated musical based on the Allies’ war operation of the same name that helped them win World War II. Much more than a history lesson, the uproarious comedy is parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper.

Ages 5+. Children under 4 years old will not be admitted.

*Operation Mincemeat* takes you back to the middle of World War II — not exactly an expected setting for a musical comedy, but that’s what makes this show so ingenious. Musical comedy gets redefined — and re-outfitted — in this thrilling, hilarious, and unbelievable real-life tale reimagined for the stage.

Robert Hastie directs this production, written and composed by the musical comedy group SpitLip. A smash hit in London, the show earned glowing reviews: The Stage called the show "a brilliant spy thriller, a brilliant comedy, and a brilliant musical all rolled into one.” See what the hype is all about and join a spy mission like no other.

## What to watch for

- The Daily Express hailed the musical as a "major triumph" and "sheer perfection.”
- In addition to winning the Olivier, *Operation Mincemeat* also won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical.
- The original cast featured three of the show's co-writers: David Cumming, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts, members of the comedy troupe SpitLip with Felix Hagan. All reprised their roles from London.
