Olivier-winning Best Musical Operation Mincemeat is transferring from London's West End to Broadway, with performances set to begin February 15, 2025, ahead of a March 20 opening night at the Golden Theatre. The musical is written and composed by comedy group SplitLip, comprising David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts. Casting is to be announced.

Director Robert Hastie will reprise his work for the Broadway bow, along with choreographer Jenny Arnold. Further creative team members are to be announced.

Set in 1943, Operation Mincemeat explores the true story of a secret military operation meant to turn the tide of the war. With the Allies losing, the British military develop an idea: to use the well-dressed corpse of a homeless man to feed Hitler and his advisors incorrect information. The show opened in London's West End in 2023, going on to win two 2024 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical and Best Actor in a Supporting Role, for Jak Malone. Producers have been teasing a possible Broadway transfer for several months, openly exploring whether or not the show was too British for American audiences via surveys and press statements.

The story has previously been adapted into three books, a TV episode, a play, and two films. The latest adaptation was the 2022 movie starring Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Penelope Wilton, and Mark Gatiss.

A ticket pre-sale (with sign-up at OperationBroadway.com) will begin November 18, with general sales following November 20. 

The Broadway run is being produced by Avalon in association with SplitLip.
