The cast of Operation Mincemeat joins Behind the Awards to do a deep dive of the musical from inception to Broadway.  David Cumming, Claire-Marie Hall, Natasha Hodgson, Jak Malone, and Zoe Roberts give us the behind the scenes secrets of the show.  Staring at The Fringe to Oliver Award winning run on the West End this show gives the audience a history lesson of World War II in the most physical comedy way possible. 

Also in this episode - Harriet Harris 2002 Tony Win for Thoroughly Modern Millie and a review of Just in Time starring Jonathan Groff.

The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.

Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.

Bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent, the question is: how did a dead body, a fake love letter, and - of all people - Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler?
