I really enjoyed *Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical*. It was fun, clever, and completely different from what I expected. One of the things I enjoyed most was how much fun the cast seemed to be having themselves. That energy was contagious and gave the whole show a playful, almost effortless feel, even though the story is based on a very serious and remarkable real operation from World War II. That contrast is part of what makes the show work so well. It takes an extraordinary piece of wartime history and tells it in such an inventive and unexpected way without losing sight of the real story underneath the humor. After the show, I also had the chance to meet Brandon Contreras and Jeff Kready, and both were an absolute joy to talk with. That was a wonderful way to end an already very enjoyable afternoon. If you enjoy history but also appreciate humor, creativity, and a production that doesn’t take the obvious approach, *Operation Mincemeat* is well worth seeing. I’m very glad I went.

The performance was incredible, i can not believe it was just five people playing all different characters. They were able to change characters and scenes so fluidly, it was so impressive. The storyline was easy to follow and hilarious at times. It was wild and exciting and every scene was something new and different. Overall, a great night out.
