Following the seventeenth West End and fifth Broadway extensions, award-winning musical Operation Mincemeat is coming to the new city.
The show will enjoy a six-day stay at Milton Keynes Theatre, starting on Mondsay, June 8.
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 musical is running simultaneously in London and New York, with the West End production at the Fortune Theatre extended for a seventeenth time through September 27 this year, and the Broadway production now extended for a fifth time.
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.
