Listen its the biggest news of our entire lives, we did a photoshoot, deal with it xoxo Operation Mincemeat is going to Broadway and its safe to say we've lost our little minds. Thank you to everyone who believes in and supports fringe theatre. We cannot believe how lucky we are
This government’s disgusting stance on innocent, normal people just trying to live peacefully and authentically CANNOT be allowed to hold. Trans community: we love you, we see you, we are inspired by you and we will fight for you.
'We shouldn't be bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be, they can't. A man is a man and a woman is a woman', says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The faces of a group of people who just heard [REDACTED] from the new musical Operation Mincemeat as played by the bbc concert orchestra. Will never forget that as long as we live. Bring on Sunday. You are not ready.

Absolute scenes
@mincemeatlive

@GeriAllenActor
performed Monty (& Others) for the VERY FIRST TIME with only a few hours' notice!! Goes without saying she SMASHED IT! The coolest of cats! 💖💖
🚨Important intelligence from Mincemeat HQ🚨
There are rumours that we had TWO Montagu’s in the theatre last night… 👀
Thankfully we’ve obtained hard evidence that Operation
#GetColinFirthToMincemeat
was a success!🎉🎉🎉
Delighted to add you to the Mincemeat alumni, Colin!🫡
Dear audience, I'm afraid we've not got long to write... Just a quick one to say CONGRATS to

HNY from your favourite silly little newt gang - we couldn’t be more grateful for your support of
@mincemeatlive
this year, u made our dreams come true! Here’s to 2024 and our inevitable downfall!!!! Huzzah!! Xxx
Tonight marks ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
@mincemeatlive
west end shows. From 5 weeks in a (fabulous) 80 seater to the west end itself. Madness. Thank you all for making it happen xxx
Shared with permission, one of the most beautiful things about doing this show has been talking to people who have dedicated their life to public service- those who are the most stoic and Get Things Done deserve to feel seen- our honour to give you a cathartic space x
SIX MONTHS of west end shows as of today. Half a year of mincemeat on the west end, with another half ahead of us. Feeling very lucky and grateful and sore and knackered - a fair and just combo we reckon xxxxxxx here’s to the next 6 months!
Someone get a mug with this fine fellow's face on it, stat!
@Seanannigans91
as Charles Cholmondeley & others. Pleased to reveal he and our new recruits will be stationed from 13 May. Standby for more news🫡
If only there was an iconic musical theatre song about important things happening the next day “one day left” “wow there’s one day to go” “holy crap look at this bloody day coming up” something like that
turns out hearing a song you wrote but with a 25 piece fcking orchestra is actually q good - Here we are with our orchestrator Steve Sidwell- Steve, for the brass parts alone you are going to heaven x bring on the
@WhatsOnStage
awards!
For anyone currently missing someone far away, a live recording of our song Dear Bill, from
#OperationMincemeat
. We weren't going to share this, as it's just an archive recording, but feels like... right now... we could all do with it x
when you get five minutes notice in the interval that you’re going on for act 2 as your second cover- is there such a thing as a vagina of steel?
@GeriAllenActor
nation, rise x
On tonight of all nights, we have confirmation from mi5 itself that we found Hester🌹🌹❤️❤️ - no words enough for what this means to us, to
@mincemeatlive
and particularly to our gorgeous, tenacious, awe-inspiring community, who found her in the first place xxx
TONIGHT is our 78th west end performance- which means as of tonight this is the longest ever run of
@mincemeatlive
. Huge love for the venues that got us here:
@newdiorama
,
@swkplay
@RiversideLondon
, we couldn’t be more proud that we graced your stages first x
our hearts could not be fuller. To give joy and get joy back, what an honour this all is x thank you team, our pulverised knees salute each and every one
This afternoon we’re watching our own west end show
@mincemeatlive
for the very first time in our lives, as the rest of our glorious ensemble cast take on the roles for a dress rehearsal - WE COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED, we are so lucky!! Hope we like it!!!!!!!
To everyone who has championed this show, who talked about it, who dragged friends, who thought “why not”, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If it’s down, it’s down together, if it’s up, it’s up as one. Xx
Not to get too MUSH today but one of the best things for us as writers is seeing sensational women take on these unusual parts we built with such love.
@ChloeSJHart
, you’re already an icon 🐒
we’re so overwhelmed with just how purely lovely today is. People working together to honour a woman we never knew but were determined should have justice. And now her story will be told, and protected, forever. Many many dark days, and this really is a small flash of joy x
beyond wonderful to have met Jean Leslie’s son and daughter today after the show- to carry on this woman’s incredible legacy, a testament to her dedication and fierce passion, the honour of our lives x thanks so much for coming, it means so much to us all
our full
@mincemeatlive
team (give or take, sorry guys not here) with our
@WhatsOnStage
Best New Musical award. Proud of us, still reeling, grateful for such a brilliant, talented and hardworking group of people. Up as one x
Now not saying we’d actively ENJOY a stage invasion by just stop oil…. Not saying we wouldn’t be quite TAKEN ABACK…. but then again…….. live medium innit. Is your message alive or not xxxx
really doesn’t feel like very long ago we were tromping around the edinburgh fringe begging anyone to take flyers for our shows- and last night we had 200 pals in our west end venue in joyous costume. Still can’t believe it. We are so amazed by you all x
We didn’t want to announce this as we wanted our brilliant researchers to find it themselves ❤️ (it’s what they do best after all) - but thanks to them we have CHANGED our
@mincemeatlive
brochure with the truth they uncovered, and made sure they got full credit, of course x
How utterly brilliant for the
#FindingHester
campaign?!
Corrections made in the brochure, and access to the research everyone contributed to as well!
She’s been found 💛
In the girls’ dressing room we’ve been tallying every night towards one single goal- performing as many West End shows as all our
@mincemeatlive
fringe shows put together. Tonight is that night. 219 shows- as of tonight, we are megazord. X
From dave’s spare bedroom, to the palladium stage- every day we think we’re gonna wake up from this dream (and what’s tash doing thinking she can play Fleming, come now) - keep writing guys, you truly just don’t know x
Our
@mincemeatlive
album has passed over 500k streams on Spotify 😭😭😭 - what a mad life. What track is your favourite to listen to you beautiful maniacs? Xxx
Also she won’t say this because she is a modest buffoon, but
@GeriAllenActor
is a working mother in theatre, she knows EVERY female part in this show (as does
@hollysumpton
) and frankly the hard work, tenacity, joy and sheer idiocy of both of them is a privilege to behold x
Speeches from

@mincemeatlive
and the unveiling of Hester's plaque tonight.
Far more emotional than I expected. Such a beautiful moment .
Well hell, it’s gonna be pretty hard for anything to compete with the
@mincemeatlive
rollercoaster of this ridiculous week- Wait hey are we RELEASING THE ALBUM TOMORROW???????????? ON ALL GOOD PLATFORMS???
We’re on
@BBCRadio4
tomorrow! 6:15! Performing no less! (We recorded it today we’re not camping out, there’s already enough of that in London Town this weekend) please listen, the other guests are SO much more famous and cool than us
Dad’s rose bush died out when he passed away a few months ago. My mum talks to it from time to time for comfort and yesterday she spotted a single rose came back. The big man is watching. Happy holidays.
Before tomorrow just to say- to see such love for
@mincemeatlive
on the TL gives us so much hope and love and joy. Thank you. You’re the fucking best and we wouldn’t be here without you x
From the first time we ever performed God That’s Brilliant at a
@The_Lowry
scratch night, to a sold out west end stage. We cannot express our gratefulness for everyone who got us here. You made our wildest, maddest dreams come true. Small (and sometimes huge) flashes of joy x
From Dave’s bedroom to Trafalgar Square- we’re performing at
@WestEndLIVE
today and frankly it’s ridiculous (yes at one point tash was maybe playing Fleming 🤪🤷♀️)

So me and my partner fell in love with Operation Mincemeat, he then made a very special question even more so special by using cameo to help him propose! 'if it's down it down together'
