As a seasoned gamer of musicals and a proud member of the Broadway community, I’ve seen my fair share of productions that promise to deliver the thrill and suspense of a spy caper. But when it comes to “Operation Mincemeat,” I’m genuinely intrigued by its unique blend of humor, mystery, and history.
New musical Operation Mincemeat is transferring to Broadway this winter.
The award-winning 2024 musical, which took home the Olivier Award for best new production, is set to make its Broadway debut at the Golden Theatre. Previews will begin on February 15, 2025, with the official opening night scheduled for March 20.
The play titled “SpitLip’s Musical” is penned by the humor collective SpitLip, starring David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts. This production is overseen by director Robert Hastie and choreographer Jenny Arnold.
Casting for Broadway will be announced at a later date.
The show is classified as a blend of comedy, suspense, and espionage reminiscent of Ian Fleming’s work, and it unfolds in 1943 when the Allied Forces are on the brink of defeat. They hatch an undercover operation centered around a stolen body that alters the course of World War II. A movie from 2021 titled “Operation Mincemeat” and starring Colin Firth, Kelly Macdonald, and Matthew Macfadyen follows a similar narrative, inspired by the book with the same title written by Ben Macintyre.
The musical initially began as a modest performance at London’s New Diorama Theatre, eventually picking up steam at various playhouses. It ultimately debuted on the West End stage in London on May 9, 2023, at the Fortune Theatre and is still ongoing there today.
Operation Mincemeat garnered six 2024 Olivier Award nominations, ultimately taking home the prizes for Best New Musical and Best Supporting Actor in a Musical. This stage production is being staged on Broadway by Avalon (in partnership with SpitLip).
