In many ways, Operation Mincemeat is just like your typical West End musical - high energy, show-stopping numbers, clear (even if somewhat predictable) structure. It gets that part right. But it truly shines in those most unexpected moments that push the boundaries of the musical form. Thrilling, surprising, and hilarious with a comedic self-awareness and committed performances that will give the audience a bang for their buck, this is a tale about silly intelligence officers told brilliantly through intelligent silliness. A show with big ambition that deserves an even bigger stage!Read more →

Energetic, fun, smart and rather moving. A big heart, big imagination show with some fantastic tunes and fantastic performances from the small, very up-for-it cast. Highly recommended.Read more →

The cast and crew deserve a lot of respect for how much they can perform with such a small crew.Read more →

This ‘off West-end’ bijou musical shows the bigger glittery expensive offers on current show what a group of very talented people can do. What appears on paper to be unpromising material kept a smile on the receptive packed house’s collective face. And with all terrific musicals it had a stunning quiet and intensely moving song at its centre during which one could have heard a pin drop. Hopefully this work will not disappear after it’s second limited run.Read more →

Jazz, hip-hop, rap, cabaret, everything you want from a MUSICAL is in this show! It’s like the perfect mixture of classical and 21th century musical theatre treats mixed with British humour (and self-awareness!Read more →

Andrea Ma
Comic take on a WW2 deception operation, delivered by a versatile cast of 5. Not to be relied on for historical accuracy (on the role of women in wartime intelligence or on distinguishing between MI5 and MI6).Read more →
Jamie Perkins
Charming, inventive and hilarious! The small team of actors are disgustingly talented and the show is excellent from start to finish. I can't wait to see it continue to grow!Read more →
