OPERATION MINCEMEAT announces new West End cast

Written and composed by David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts of SpitLip, the musical comedy is based on the true story of the high octane, unbelievably funny and eccentric secret mission that helped the allies to win World War II, featuring a stolen and smartly-dressed dead body. It's been described as ‘Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Noel Coward meets Noel Fielding’. After hugely popular sell-out runs at New Diorama Theatre and Southwark Playhouse, along with an extended Riverside Studios and its first UK tour, Operation Mincemeat has now transferred to the West End.

The West End cast will include Charlotte Fleming as Jean Leslie and Others, Colm Gleeson as Hester Leggatt and Others, Ahmed Hamad as Charles Cholmondeley and Others, Chlöe Hart as Johnny Bevan and Others, and Madeleine Jackson-Smith as Ewen Montague and Others.

Operation Mincemeat is directed by Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge), who provided directorial support for the Riverside Studios run, and choreographed by Jenny Arnold (Jerry Springer: The Opera). The creative team also includes Ben Stones (Sylvia) as set and costume designer, Mark Henderson (Girl from the North Country) as lighting designer, Mike Walker (Jerry Springer: The Opera) as sound designer, and Steve Sidwell (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) as orchestrator and vocal arranger.

The show is currently booking until 20 February 2027.
