Meet the new Mincemeat cast

The new Operation Mincemeat cast features Ahmed Hamad (Sunset Boulevard) as Charles Cholmondeley & Others, with Charlotte Fleming (Mrs Doubtfire) as Jean Leslie & Others, Colm Gleeson (The Play That Goes Wrong) as Hester Leggatt & Others, Chloë Hart (Six The Musical) as Johnny Bevan & Others, and Madeleine Jackson-Smith (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Ewen Montagu & Others.

This season’s understudies are: Jason Kajdi (Matilda The Musical), Amy Parker (13 Going on 30), Benjamin Durham (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), and Molly Cutter (NewsRevue).

More about the show

Operation Mincemeat is directed by Olivier Award-nominated Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge), with choreography by Olivier Award nominee Jenny Arnold (Jerry Springer: The Opera).

Operation Mincemeat is running simultaneously in London and New York, and is also now touring the UK.

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.
