“Operation Mincemeat” extends for the 11th time on Broadway: performances continue until April 25, 2027

The musical “Operation Mincemeat” is not stopping: producers have announced the 11th extension of its Broadway run, with six additional weeks of performances taking the calendar to Sunday, April 25, 2027, as BroadwayWorld reports. The news comes just three weeks after the tenth extension — and the musical that began as a modest 16-week Broadway production seems to be in no danger of running out of performances in demand.

For the most devoted fans, an exclusive “Operation Earlybird” presale will also open, reserved only for the mailing list: it starts on Thursday, October 15, lasts 24 hours, with tickets at $79, $129 and $179, while the favourite front rows are sold for $79.

The new extension adds to an impressive tally: on September 26 alone, “Operation Mincemeat” welcomed 9,734 spectators across the four territories where it plays simultaneously — Broadway, the West End, the British tour and the American tour — the largest combined single-day record in the production’s history, according to BroadwayWorld. Meanwhile the world tour, launched with the British leg (already extended), is continuing in North America, before heading to Mexico, China, Australia and New Zealand.

The fans, who call themselves “Mincefluencers”, are keeping the show alive: on Broadway alone, over 5,000 spectators — about one in every 25 — have bought tickets for more than one performance, including 205 superfans who have attended ten or more performances. On the stage of the Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street), the current “regiment” continues: Brandon Contreras, Jessi Kirtley, Tony nominee Julia Knitel, Jeff Kready and Amanda Jill Robinson.

The musical, written by SpitLip (David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts) and directed by Robert Hastie, began Broadway performances on February 15, 2025 and tells the true story of the secret British operation of 1943 that turned the tide of the Second World War — a blend of farce, thriller and spy adventure in Ian Fleming’s style. In the West End, the show has already entered its fifth year.
