Operation Mincemeat

It is 1943, the war is going badly, and British intelligence is about to stake everything on a stolen corpse. The musical comedy tells the improbable true story of the secret mission that used a well-dressed dead man to wrong-foot Hitler, at a pace its creators liken to Singin' in the Rain crossed with Strangers on a Train. Winner of the 2024 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and now a Tony winner on Broadway, it has extended its West End run many times.
