Following 290,000 tickets sold and over 20 weeks  of sold-out shows so far, the Tony® and double Olivier Award®-winning hit musical Operation Mincemeat announces an extension to the UK leg of its world tour due to phenomenal demand. 

The second UK leg kicks off in Dartford’s Orchard Theatre on the 23 February 2027, touring for 36 weeks and taking in new destinations including Belfast and Dublin, as well as Liverpool, Blackpool and Leicester and more, alongside a return to the Lowry for two weeks.  

Operation Mincemeat is a fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won the Allies  World War II. The question is, how did a well dressed corpse wrong-foot Hitler? 

The show began as a tiny (and tiny-budgeted) production at the London Fringe New Diorama Theatre in 2019. The show quickly gained a devoted following, spurring sold-out runs at venues including Southwark Playhouse and Riverside Studios. It finally premiered in the West End on 9th May 2023 at the Fortune Theatre, where it won the Olivier and WhatsOnstage Awards® for ‘Best New Musical’, alongside garnering 181 five-star reviews and counting, and has become the ‘Best reviewed show in West End history’. Operation Mincemeat is written by Triple Tony Award® nominees SpitLip (David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts) and directed by Deputy Artistic 

Tickets for the UK leg extension go on pre-sale at 10am on Wednesday 23 September with general sale starting at 10am on Friday 25 September.
