It has been announced that the Olivier Award®-winning ‘Best New Musical’ Operation Mincemeat will begin performances on Broadway at the Golden Theatre from 15 February 2025, where it will run simultaneously in New York and London.

Operation Mincemeat began as a tiny (and tiny-budgeted) production at the London Fringe New Diorama Theatre in 2019. The show quickly gained a devoted following, spurring sold-out runs at venues including Southwark Playhouse and Riverside Studios. It finally premiered in the West End in May 2023 at the Fortune Theatre, where it won the Olivier and WhatsOnstage Awards® for ‘Best New Musical’, alongside garnering 74 five-star reviews and counting, and has become the “Best reviewed show in West End history”.

SpitLip - David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts - the musical’s writers and composers, said: “If we had to name one single unifying influence for Operation Mincemeat, it would be the American Musical Comedy. The Producers, Guys and Dolls, Wicked, Avenue Q, The Book Of Mormon - we never dreamed we would even get to go see shows like these on Broadway, let alone open our show alongside them. Thank you to our fans, and particularly those in the US for getting Operation Mincemeat here. If it gets hounded out of Broadway after one night, it will still be beyond our wildest dreams. Our producers, we’d imagine, would be less pleased.”

Casting, ticket prices and show times to be announced.

Broadway tickets will go on general sale on 20 November here.
