Hit British musical Operation Mincemeat is officially crossing the pond to Broadway!

The critically acclaimed production, which has taken the West End by storm, will make its Broadway debut at the Golden Theatre on 20th March 2025, with previews starting from 15th February.

Operation Mincemeat tells the bizarre but true story of the secret mission that helped change the course of World War II. In 1943, the Allies planted misleading documents on a corpse to fool the Nazis, leading Hitler to make a critical strategic error.

This marks the Golden Theatre’s first musical since Avenue Q.

And if that wasn’t enough, Operation Mincemeat will be running in both New York and London simultaneously. The Fortune Theatre’s production in the West End has been extended for the 10th time and will continue through 8th March 2025.

The extraordinary debut musical is written and composed by SpitLip – David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts.
