Monday 8th December – Following the seventeenth West End and fifth Broadway extensions, the Tony Award® and double Olivier Award®-winning musical Operation Mincemeat unveils the cast for the UK leg of its landmark world tour. Launching on 16th February 2026 at Lowry in Salford – the venue that first encouraged the writers’ extraordinary debut musical and hosted its first-ever scratch performance in 2017 – a 40-week run will play at theatres nationwide through 28th November 2026.
Reprising their acclaimed roles, West End alumnae Christian Andrews (Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas, ITV’s D-Day 80 at the Royal Albert Hall), Seán Carey (The Play That Goes Wrong, BBC One’s VE Day 80, A Celebration to Remember), Charlotte Hanna-Williams (Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella; Bells are Ringing), and Holly Sumpton (Lovers Actually, BBC One’s VE Day 80, A Celebration to Remember) are joined by new recruit Jamie-Rose Monk (Rome & Juliet, (the) Woman) to form the cast, while Katy Ellis (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Sappho: The Poetess), Georgina Hagen (Only Fools & Horses, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Jordan Pearson (Back to the Future: The Musical, One Man, Two Guvnors), and Morgan Phillips (Babies, The History Boys) complete the company.
SpitLip, the musical’s writers and composers, commented: “We’re so excited to see Operation Mincemeat heading out on a world tour next year, and the fact that it’s all kicking off at The Lowry, Salford – a venue who have fiercely championed us as theatre makers for over a decade, and where some of us made our professional debuts – is incredibly special. Having launched our show on Broadway this year, we know there’s an appetite (and a need) out there for shows which champion joy, and the power of small groups of people to change the world. We’re also delighted to be welcoming back our agents Christian, Charlotte, Holly and Seán, and welcoming our amazing new recruit Jamie-Rose, to kick off the UK leg of the tour – MI5 couldn’t be in more capable or more spectacularly stupid hands. Father’s never been prouder!”
Following the UK leg of the world tour, Operation Mincemeat will travel across four continents, with stops including the USA, Australia, Canada, China, Mexico and New Zealand.
UK tour tickets are on sale now from the Official Box Office at OperationMincemeat.com. Dates for other territories will be announced soon – sign up to the mailing list to be first in line when the show comes to your city. Keep an eye out for updates on new countries and continents!
Operation Mincemeat is running simultaneously in London and New York, with the West End production at the Fortune Theatre extended for a seventeenth time through 27th September 2026, and the Broadway production now extended for a fifth time, running through 26th April 2026. It 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 on 9th May 2023 at the Fortune Theatre, where it won the Olivier and WhatsOnstage Awards® for ‘Best New Musical’, alongside garnering 88 five-star reviews and counting, and has become the ‘Best reviewed show in West End history.’
The decision to write the musical was the last roll of the dice from SpitLip, a quartet of young British creatives after years of performing sketch shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and echoes the journey of Beyond the Fringe from the world-famous quartet Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Dudley Moore, which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1960, before moving to the Fortune Theatre and later to the Golden in 1962.
In Operation Mincemeat, it’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.
The production is directed by Olivier Award nominated Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, National Theatre – Best New Musical Olivier Award winner), following providing directorial support for the Riverside Studios run, while Olivier Award nominated Jenny Arnold (Jerry Springer: The Opera, National Theatre) continues as Choreographer. Also from Standing at the Sky’s Edge at the National Theatre on the creative team are: Olivier Award nominated Ben Stones (Sylvia, The Old Vic) as Set and Costume Designer, Tony Award, six-time Olivier Award and Bafta Award winning Mark Henderson (Girl From the North Country, Broadway & Noël Coward Theatre) as Lighting Designer and Olivier Award winning Mike Walker (Jerry Springer: The Opera, National Theatre) as Sound Designer. Grammy Award winning and Tony, Emmy & 2024 ‘Outstanding Musical Contribution’ Olivier Award nominated Steve Sidwell (Beautiful: The Musical, Broadway & Aldwych Theatre) is Orchestrator and Vocal Arranger, while 2024 ‘Outstanding Musical Contribution’ Olivier Award nominated Joe Bunker is Musical Supervisor and Sam Sommerfeld is Musical Director. Georgie Staight is Tour Director, Anna Marshall is Resident Director and Paul Isaiah Isles is Associate Choreographer. Casting is by Pearson Casting. The debut musical is written and composed by SpitLip – David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts.
Since premiering at London’s 77-seat New Diorama Theatre in 2019, the show been nominated for 67 awards and won 25, including Best Musical four times at the Olivier Awards®, WhatsOnStage Awards®, BroadwayWorld Theater Fans’ Choice Awards®, and Off West End Awards®.
On Broadway, original cast member Jak Malone won the 2025 Tony Award® for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, having previously taken home the Olivier Award® for the same role in 2024. His breakout performance earned seven major accolades, including the Tony, Drama Desk®, Outer Critics Circle®, Drama League®, Theatre World®, BroadwayWorld®, and Dorian Theater Awards®. Meanwhile, SpitLip received nominations for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical from the Tony Awards®, Outer Critics Circle Awards®, Drama Desk Awards®, and BroadwayWorld Theater Fans’ Choice Awards®.
Operation Mincemeat’s Broadway, West End, and touring productions are produced by Avalon (in association with SpitLip). The show was commissioned by New Diorama Theatre, co-commissioned by The Lowry, and also supported by the Rhinebeck Writers Retreat.

“A little show with a very big future.”
David Benedict, Variety (2021)
“Think of it as Monty Python on speed, and then throw in some Ealing Studio wit and a bit of ‘Beyond the Fringe’ slyness. Too British? Not if you want to laugh uproariously — and perhaps even unexpectedly shed a tear or two.”
Frank Rizzo, Variety (2025)
“The West End hit is still the perfect mix of ingenious, silly and moving…With a new cast, the Olivier Award-winning musical about the wartime operation is as terrific as ever” ★★★★★

Alison Boshoff, Daily Mail
“A miraculous musical that tells the entire story in a kind of accelerated farce that is part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors.” ★★★★★
Neil Norman, The Daily Mirror
“irrepressible wartime musical is a West End triumph”
Emma John, The Guardian
“Hilarious tale makes Mincemeat out of its rivals…Before curtain I talked to a fan seeing this for the seventh time. I wondered why anyone would see the same show seven times. Now I know”
Neil Armstrong, The Mail On Sunday ★★★★★
“Operation Mincemeat: from British fringe to toast of Broadway? Steven Spielberg and Daniel Radcliffe are among the celebrities going to see the show— and New York audiences are going crazy for its slapstick humour. The audience at Broadway’s Golden Theatre was merrily losing its mind… As the zaniness increased, the laughter got louder…Mincemeat is truly the little engine that could”
Tim Teeman, The Times
“A Pythonesque romp that doesn’t short-change the intellect.”
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph
“My far-and-away favorite production—and a complete surprise to me—was the musical “Operation Mincemeat… a comedy that has been cheerfully dismantling jingoism builds a stirring vision of real fellowship in its place.”
Helen Shaw, The New Yorker
“the Best New Song on Broadway…a true showstopper”
Jason P. Frank, Vulture
“Pure theatrical serotonin, it’s a show that will leave you with a spring in your step” ★★★★★
Hugh Montgomery, Metro
“Operation Mincemeat’s new cast keep the magic alive and bring a tear to the audience’s eye…This might be my second time watching the historical production, but I still find myself struggling to breathe thanks to laughing so much…[the] invasion is going well, and I hope it stays that way.” ★★★★★
Thea Jacobs, The Sun
“Help! I’ve been to see Operation Mincemeat 12 times … I’ve been to see London’s finest musical a dozen times. I went there on one of my first dates with my partner. I have to confess to being a Mincefluencer… Mincemeat has garnered this fanbase because of just how damn good it is. The lyrics are full of inventive wordplay and dry humour. The soundtrack fuses genres from traditional musical theatre to K-Pop. Above all, it is refreshing to enjoy a new British musical that is not another Andrew Lloyd Webber creation.”
Sebastian Payne, The Times
“One of the season’s most exhilarating new musicals. In the spirit of Austin Powers, Monty Python and the high-concept farce of Alan Ayckbourn, Operation Mincemeat is both unabashedly goofy and exceptionally smart.”
Naveen Kumar, The Washington Post
“I’ve just bought tickets to see Operation Mincemeat – for the fourth time. I’m a big fan of musical theatre and this is one of my favourites: the music is brilliant and the writing is hilarious.”
Rosie Jones, The Observer
“mission improbable is a runaway hit…SpitLip honour as well as spoof with their all-conquering espionage musical…It’s a hoot – and a marvel. It is also one of the surprise survivors of the pandemic-stricken theatre. A show that looked like a caper with a cult following is on the brink of commercial success… Its rise, in an era of juggernaut musicals, is flabbergasting…nimbly varied, expressive music, ranging from sea shanty, to jazz to hip-hop; lyrics so patteringly exact and ingeniously rhymed that Noël Coward might have flushed with envy.”
Susannah Clapp, The Observer
“A triumphant blend of slapstick, farce, terrific music and deliciously energetic performances. One of the best comic ensembles on Broadway.”
Deadline
“Despite all that Hollywood firepower, my top pick was a homegrown musical about the UK’s role in World War II”
Sarah Rappaport, Bloomberg
“Tonight was my sixth time seeing this show. I have tickets three more times. If anyone has an extra ticket in the interim I am available.”
Taffy Brodessor-Akner, The New York Times
“Operation Mincemeat has gone from Fringe show, to West End hit, to mega Broadway success… it started small, it has grown and grown”
Katie Razzall, BBC Radio 4
“Operation Mincemeat opened at the Fortune Theatre in May 2023 and has been wildly successful ever since. Winning the 2024 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, it has gone from strength to strength…a hilarious history lesson, with an ingenious script, a brilliant new cast of exceptional performers, and songs that will have you reaching for your streaming service of choice to enjoy them again as soon as you’ve left the theatre.”
Nick Barr, 1883 Magazine
“The ingenuity of the storytelling matches the zaniness of the plot, which is exactly as it should be in musical comedy.”
The Washington Post
“Overflows with humor.”
Vulture
“A laugh-out-loud musical that’s part spy thriller, part wartime spoof and endlessly entertaining.”
Entertainment Weekly
“I couldn’t believe the lasting impression the performance left on me…The [new] cast are undisputably talented… the show more than fulfilled my expectations, and I urge anyone and everyone to go and see it. It is a rare occasion that the West End is graced with such a brilliant new musical truly worth its salt, such as this one”
Isabelle Casey, HELLO! Magazine
“But whoof! It blew the roof clean off. Hoots and tears welcomed this ingenious, touching musical. Taut lyrics, vintage gags, a wild tale and tunes that followed me out into the night air, in hums and whistles. Perfection… An artisanal masterpiece” ★★★★★
Luke Jones, The Daily Mail
“glorious fun … the musical’s story is ironically the American Dream. Operation Mincemeat has now earned 74 five-star reviews, two Olivier awards and its audience alumni include Robert de Niro, Colin Firth, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Sir Ian McKellen. It is currently booking until June 2025, with its second cast — unless it gets extended a 13th time, of course…”
Amelia Tait, Esquire
“Sometimes the jokes hit you so quickly that you barely have time to laugh before the next one comes sweeping along….gloriously inventive musical…brilliantly evoked by a multitasking, gender-switching cast of five…The songs, given a contemporary veneer, sometimes veering into Hamilton rap territory, are crafted with infinite care…Amid the mayhem, it’s touching to see the actors pay homage to the memory of the homeless man, Glyndwr Michael”
Clive Davis, The Times
“It’s a cause for great celebration when such a joyously homegrown, idiosyncratically British new comedy musical lands in the West End… insanely hard-working quick-change cast… The show is witty, mocking, camp and joyous, not to mention immensely tuneful – the songs are both clever and catchy… Anyone with even the slightest interest in homegrown success stories should wish Operation Mincemeat the very best of British.”
Fiona Mountford, The i
“In its humorous chaos, Mincemeat offers glimmers of Monty Python, with a dash of Hamilton, and a sprinkle of SIX.”
Shaina Russell, Entertainment Weekly
“The feel-good West End musical of the summer… The reviews for the show have been ecstatic… the overwhelming impression is of hopefulness, expansiveness, possibility and joy.”
Alexis Soloski, The New York Times
“The best show in town is back – bigger and better than ever… a flawless transition to mainstream triumph with impeccable class, quicksilver shine and its trademark plucky determination… fabulously funny, wickedly witty and magnificently moving… madcap and utterly marvellous… extraordinarily talented cast… dazzling array of pastiche treats and belly laughs… sheer perfection.”★★★★★
Stefan Kyriazis, The Sunday Mirror
“Operation Mincemeat: The season’s most surprising showstopper lands on Broadway. The raucous musical Operation Mincemeat, one of the best-reviewed productions in West End history, is finally stateside — and you’ll want to grab a ticket now.”
Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast
“The Queen’s rare night out…Operation Mincemeat, the hit musical”
Emily Ferguson, The Daily Express
“Provides jubilant escapism in generous doses.”
The Wall Street Journal
“They just go for it: huge facial expressions, beautifully weird delivery of lines for maximum comic effect, clownish movement… It is that balance of comedy and heart that is this show’s great strength…A brilliant spy thriller, a brilliant comedy, and a brilliant musical all rolled into one, it is exhilarating to see it hit the West End.” ★★★★★
Tim Bano, The Stage
“there are resonances of everything from Hamilton and Six to Gilbert and Sullivan. There are also homages to Monty Python and Mel Brooks, and even a nod to Flanders and Swann. It feels both utterly contemporary and nostalgically throw-back. And it balances genuine hilarity with enormous heart… The five-strong cast are uniformly excellent… it more than delivers, and stands a shining example of homegrown talent – among many things it’s just so very, very British. It’s also a reminder of why these smaller West End theatres are so vitally important, and are wasted when clogged up by longrunners. But having said that, I don’t anticipate the Fortune being available again for some time to come.” ★★★★★
Theo Bosanquet, WhatsOnStage
“an exuberant, energetic, incurably daft show …wit, charm, a subversive attitude to gender, a surprising amount of pathos, and a Eurobeat number for a Nazi boyband (yes, really)…It’s an embodiment of the eccentric British exceptionalism it both celebrates and mocks…a marvellously bluff, gruff, freewheeling parody of cocksure masculinity….undeniably funny…The script is nimble; the songs riff through period genres from Noel Coward numbers to stirring sea shanties; the rhymes are inspired…This show could be just what the West End needs.”
Nick Curtis, Evening Standard
“a fringe theatre comet that’s gathered mass and momentum… a delight from start to finish… chemistry really is off the chart…I think it’s safe to say that the operation has been a total success.”
Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out
“high-octane musical comedy hits the big time…hilarious … a glorious parade of witty stagecraft… a triumph of ingenuity… guaranteed to give your ability to grin and giggle a strenuous, much needed workout.”
Helen Hawkins, The Arts Desk
“the perfect blend of everything we want from a musical – a delightfully witty sense of humour, yet with real heart… Inventive, creative, and endlessly enjoyable – we can’t recommend this show enough. If you’ve not seen it, do yourself a favour and pick up a ticket!” ★★★★★
Chris Selman, Gay Times
“A corpsing comedy that deserves its cult hit status…a deft pastiche…spectacularly successful …brilliantly funny”
Tim Walker, The New European
“the macabre yet tender musical comedy we all need…Corpses, conspiracies and constant laughs, Operation Mincemeat is a brilliant new addition to the West End.”
Olivia Garrett, Radio Times
“the great thing about Operation Mincemeat is that it knows at every point why this is a dialogue scene, why this is a sung scene, why this bit is serious and why this bit isn’t… the thing about Mincemeat is its just smart. Like Hamilton, it knows what it’s doing and why”
David Benedict, BBC Radio 4
“There is plenty of British interest. The West End hit Operation Mincemeat is selling out on Broadway”
Dan Rubins, The Observer
“this British Hamilton…we have to say it lives up to all the hype…an incredibly talented cast…infectiously energetic numbers that take the audience on a whistle-stop tour through song genres from Cabaret and show tunes to swing and even rap. As the original cast heads to Broadway, the West End production has announced a very special show to ring in 2025: The New Year’s Eve That Never Was.”
George Simpson, The Daily Express
“In ‘Dear Bill,’ fabulation and true feeling mix to gorgeous effect.”
Jesse Green, The New York Times
“Do you know where I went last night? I went to see Operation Mincemeat… its brilliant… big shoutout to all the cast that I met last night”
Dermot O’Leary, BBC Radio 2
