Overview

• Operation Mincemeat, based on a true WWII British intelligence operation, is currently playing at Broadway's Golden Theatre and has received four Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.
• The musical tells the story of how British spies used the corpse of Glyndwr Michael, disguised as a fake officer, to mislead Nazi Germany about Allied invasion plans.
• Created by the theater company SpitLip, the production has evolved from its 2019 debut at London's New Diorama Theatre to award-winning runs in the West End and Broadway.
• A 2026 global tour has been announced, with confirmed UK stops at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre in March and Mayflower Theatre Southampton in November.
• The show highlights overlooked contributors to the real-life operation, including MI5’s Jean Leslie and Hester Leggatt, and pays tribute to Glyndwr Michael, whose identity was central to the deception.
