A musical about World War II’s Operation Mincemeat is now playing on Broadway after success in the UK. This “big, dumb” show has gained attention for being one of only three musicals written about this historical event. It follows a scrappy British comedy troupe as their work takes on a life of its own, including films, books, and TV episodes. Written by the Brits, this story originated in 1943, but new audiences may not be familiar with it through American performers like Matthew Macfadyen.
