Operation Mincemeat Extends Broadway Run Through July 2025

The musical 'Operation Mincemeat' has extended its Broadway run by four weeks, now scheduled to conclude on July 13, 2025, following a sold-out first preview on February 15 that received a five-minute standing ovation. Directed by Robert Hastie and featuring the original West End cast, the show tells the true story of a WWII operation involving a stolen corpse to mislead German forces. However, the theater's marquee remains unlit due to delays in receiving specialty lightbulbs caused by tariffs linked to the Trump administration. The production is a collaboration of the comedy group SpitLip and has already enjoyed significant success in London's West End. During its first week, it grossed $111,459, indicating strong demand despite external challenges. The official opening night is set for March 20, 2025.
