by R. Scott Reedy - Oct 21, 2026

When the Broadway musical “Operation Mincemeat” opened at New York’s Golden Theatre in March 2025, it was slated to have a 16-week run. A recent 11th extension, through April 2027, was just the latest confirmation that audiences have yet to get enough of the 2025 Tony Award nominee for Best Musical.

Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago
by Rachel Weinberg - Oct 1, 2026

Operation Mincemeat is an absolute smash. I adore this inventive and fun musical. It’s extremely original, and it’s the kind of show that gives me hope for the future of new one-of-a-kind musicals like it. Written by David Cummings, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts, Operation Mincemeat tells the true story of the MI5 mission to turn the tide of World War II. Members of the British intelligence agency devised a plan to have a corpse wash up on the tides of Spain, outfitted with fictitious documents detailing Britain’s plan to invade Sardinia — diverting Nazi troops away from Sicily.

Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Andria Tieman - Sep 23, 2026

The plot of Operation Mincemeat makes it a truly bizarre choice for a theatrical musical.  During World War II, Britain needed a way to lure the Nazi troops away from Sardinia, which was militarily significant, to the coast of Spain, which wasn’t.  The plan they came up with was preposterous, somewhat gruesome and ultimately successful. The story isn’t wholly unknown–there was a film version in 2021 based on a 2010 book (among other works), but the stage musical version is something rather amazing that this reviewer already wants to see again.

BWW Review: EVER IN THE GLADES at Kennedy Center
by Elliot Lanes - Jun 9, 2018

Throughout theatrical history there have been many cases where the acting and physical elements of a show have hidden the woes of a bland script. Playwright Laura Schellhardt needs to thank Northwestern University's Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts profusely for taking Ever in The Glades and giving it a killer world premiere production to hide her script's inequities.

by Julie Musbach - May 25, 2018

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts presents the Northwestern University production of Ever in the Glades, running June 8-10, 2018in the Family Theater. Returning to the Kennedy Center following its breakout workshop during the 2016 New Visions/New Voices theater festival, this play which reunites playwright Laura Schellhardt and director Rives Collins (the team behind this year's Kennedy Center world premiere, Digging Up Dessa) begs the question: what is the current generation's responsibility to the next, and what would happen if we fail them?
