Over From Across The Pond:

Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London’s biggest hit with 77 Five-Star reviews making it “the best-reviewed show in West End history”

A Little Bit Of History:

The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II. Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and – of all people – Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?

From an educational perspective, this show is a masterclass in comedy, scenic design, and characterization/physicalization. It also serves as a great example of switching quickly in between vastly different characters and teaches British history.

I didn’t bring a group of students, but I’m sure they would find this show hilarious and sneakily educational.
