The hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.
Following the success of the hit new cast of the Oliver Award-winning Operation Mincemeat, selling over 300, 000 tickets, and a record-breaking fan attending in excess of 140 times, ATG has given the musical, originally slated for an eight-week run at the West End’s Fortune Theatre, an incredible tenth extension through 8th March 2025! And it has just been announced that the show is going to open on Broadway next year at the Golden Theatre, running simultaneously in New York and London!!
David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts, the musical’s writers and composers, said: “We can’t quite fathom the wild journey our show has been on, now reaching a milestone extension number ten - at this rate extensions will be trumping Mincemeat’s hat count, and that’s saying something”
The announcement comes shortly after the release of the show's Christmas schedule, which, for the first time, features a special New Year’s Eve event, The New Year’s Eve That Never Was. The celebration will involve bottomless drinks, including the iconic Sparkling Sangria, along with cheese and charcuterie boxes, plus other surprises, until 1 a.m.
Christmas shows are on-sale now, while extension tickets will be available on general sale on Friday 27th September at 10am from the Official Box Office here.
Following the success of the Monday ballot, it has now expanded to include Tuesday and Saturday shows. Monday ticket prices remain frozen at £39.50, and the popular fortnightly £25 ticket lottery continues here. The first ballot draw for the new booking period from 27th January to 8th March will take place on Thursday 26th September at 2pm. Link here.
Operation Mincemeat entered its second year in London on the 13th May 2024 with a debut performance of the new cast, Emily Barber, Seán Carey, Chlöe Hart, Christian Andrews and Claire-Marie Hall , with George Jennings and Jonty Peach joining Holly Sumpton and Geri Allen to form the Company.
The year is 1943 and we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.
Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. The question is, how did a well-dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler?
