Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical ‘the best musical in decades - a Hamilton and Book of Mormon love child’ garnering fifty-eight five star reviews, has extended its West End run again by a further five weeks until 23 September.
Sheffield Theatres has announced the full cast and creative team for the first non-replica regional production of Miss Saigon. By special arrangement with Cameron Mackintosh, Boublil and Schönberg's hit musical retelling of Madame Butterfly set during the Vietnam war.
Operation Mincemeat is a victory for the underdog, in themes as well as in reality. Relatable characters with vibrant backgrounds, regardless of their size, go on a Frankensteinian journey to divert the Nazi battalion to Sardinia. From songs about wanting to be a maggot to heart-wrenching glimpses into tragic love stories, it’s as eclectic as it is entertaining. Rhythmic pop music, a contemporary musical theatre sound, the odd rap segue, and a tune that would feel at home at Berghain for good measure (“Das Übermensch”) are the foundation of this life-affirming, riotous history lesson.
Nominees have been revealed for this year’s Ian Charleson Awards. The annual awards celebrate actors under 30 who have performed in a classical role, which is defined as a play written before 1918.
