Operation Mincemeat on Broadway announces new extension to March 2026

West End hit musical Operation Mincemeat has announced its fourth extension on Broadway, although only for four extra weeks.

The show started previews at the Golden Theatre in New York on 15 February 2025, and had its gala opening night on 20 March.

Operation Mincemeat was booking to 15 February 2026, but has now extended for four extra weeks until 15 March 2026.

The West End production of the show is also playing at the Fortune Theatre in London, currently booking to 30 May 2026.

The Broadway show features the original West End cast, including David Cumming, Claire-Marie Hall, Natasha Hodgson, Olivier and Tony Award-winner Jak Malone and Zoë Roberts.

Directed by Robert Hastie, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is written and composed by the comedy troupe, SpitLip, comprised of David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts.

The show received a mixed bag of reviews when it opened on Broadway in March, with Entertainment Weekly hailing it as “an irresistible musical farce brings British boldness and belly laughs to Broadway” and giving it an A (its equivalent of 5 stars); but Johnny Oleksinski in the New York Post saying that the “hyperactive” show “got on my nerves”, and giving it 2 stars. Adam Feldman of TimeOut New York scored the show 3 stars.

At the 2025 Tony Awards, Jak Malone picked up the Best Featured Actor in a Musical, to sit alongside his Olivier Award win. The show also won Best New Musical at the 2024 Olivier Awards.

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.

Operation Mincemeat is produced on Broadway and in the West End by Avalon (in association with SpitLip). The show was commissioned by New Diorama Theatre, co-commissioned by The Lowry, and also supported by the Rhinebeck Writers Retreat.
