The unbelievable true story that became a musical phenomenon

The year is 1943 and Britain is losing the war. In a desperate attempt to turn the tide, a daring intelligence operation is launched based on an idea that sounds completely impossible.

The plan? Use a stolen corpse carrying fake documents to fool Nazi Germany and change the course of history.

What follows is a remarkable story of espionage, deception and wartime chaos that proves sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

Packed with razor-sharp comedy, inventive storytelling and sensational songs, Operation Mincemeat transforms this astonishing real-life mission into an exhilarating musical adventure.

Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical and now a Tony Award-winning Broadway hit, the production has become one of the biggest success stories in modern musical theatre.

Described as "Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train", the show combines comedy, drama and history in a way audiences have never seen before.

Book your Operation Mincemeat tickets today and discover the hilarious secret mission that changed the course of World War II.
