About This Event
Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical — London's biggest hit with 77 five-star reviews, now also Tony-nominated on Broadway. This Thursday matinee is ideal if you prefer an afternoon show. Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train in this fast-paced, hilarious, and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that helped win World War II. When a dead body washes up on a Spanish beach carrying top-secret documents, it's the start of the most audacious deception in military history. The show runs at the Theatre Royal, Grey Street — one of the most beautiful theatres in Britain. Running time is 2 hours 35 minutes including interval. Suitable for ages 5+.
