Review: THE BODYGUARD at Providence Performing Arts Center

Review: THE BODYGUARD at Providence Performing Arts Center

by Yuliya Pokhylko · October 24, 2026

Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT at Providence Performing Arts Center

Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT at Providence Performing Arts Center

by Andria Tieman · September 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, so…
