It started as a small fringe show, now it's a hit musical at London's Fortune Theatre. Paul Seven Lewis catches up with Operation MIncemeat and finds out what makes it the best new West End musical of 2023. Is the songs, the performers or the production?
David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoe Roberts wrote. They also star in it (less Mr Hagan) plus Claire-Marie Hall and Jak Malone. The director of the West End production is Robert Hastie and the choreography is by Jenny Arnold. Ben Stones is the designer.
The musical tells the story of an MI5 plot to deceive the Nazis during World War II but is also a satire on male chauvinism and the old boy network.
Operation Mincemeat is running at the Fortune Theatre until at least 4 November 2023. operationmincemeat.com

Paul paid for his ticket.

Such a delightful show. So many clever lines. I laughed heartily and have enjoyed the soundtrack since returning to the USA.

I've breifly heard about the operation this story is based on before. Great review, I'll definitely be giving this one a look!

Yes, there was a film of the same name a few years ago starring Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen. A good film but serious, not satirical. Also, there’s a 1950s movie called The Man Who Never Was telling the same story. The musical is very much a spoof, and very funny.
