We adore Operation Mincemeat, the ridiculous World War II musical comedy about to open on the West End at London’s Fortune Theatre.
As with many events over the last couple of years, our initial plans to check this show out were scuppered by a bout of Covid – but we snaffled tickets to see it a couple of weeks later during its 2021 run at the Southwark Playhouse and awarded it a perfect score.
We reviewed it again during its 2022 run at the Riverside Studios and again gave it full marks. Ahead of the musical’s West End debut we caught up with its creators, SpitLip.
SpitLip are David Cumming, Natasha Hodgson, Zöe Roberts and Felix Hagan – who between them have written and composed the musical.
