Operation Mincemeat names a new West End ensemble — and it's the biggest cast shake-up since the show landed at the Fortune.
Madeleine Jackson-Smith leads as Ewen Montague, with Charlotte Fleming as Jean Leslie, Colm Gleeson as Hester Leggatt, Ahmed Hamad as Charles Cholmondeley, and Chlöe Hart as Johnny Bevan. Jason Kajdi, Molly Cutter, Benjamin Durham and Amy Parker complete the company.
SpitLip's Olivier-winning musical comedy — based on the true WW2 deception that helped fool Hitler about the Allied invasion of Sicily — is now booking through 20 February 2027. The new cast take over from 11 May.
Robert Hastie directs, with choreography from Jenny Arnold.
