What a day. Have I got a story (thread) for you, Twitter…
This really is one of those (to quote
@mincemeatlive
): you really couldn’t write it days.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that this actually happened.
@surlybassey
Love the normies being "don't be a dick, just move." I have severe flight anxiety and am claustrophobic. I specifically pay more to book aisle seats so I can reduce my discomfort a little bit. No. I will not move. And you just made my anxiety explode by asking.

Seriously, thanks for pointing this out. Some people don’t think about cases where people literally can’t just quit their job. US immigration is a nightmare for everyone and it can take 5-15 years to be able to get a green card on a work visa. If you get one at all.
FaceTiming with my Senior Puppers. Some days she ignores me. Others she gives me disapproving looks like this for being so far away. But it’s all with doggo love! 13/10 would fly home just to see her.

Two years ago I dragged my seasonally depressed body out of the house and into my local theatre to see a tiny show all by myself.
Today I’m going with over 200 people to the West End to celebrate it. Theatre changes lives🫶

Went for a lovely day in Brighton with bestie but we had to run back to the train station because all shops were shutting down, there was police everywhere and they were boarding up shop windows because they’re expecting riots.
Fuck these racist terrorists.
The Fan(dom) really said I’m making an appearance tonight. To the best and most well behaved theatre community, thank you for being such an amazing bunch. We did it!

Mincefluencers have infiltrated (one of) the most secure building in England to leave a birthday card on my desk and I couldn’t be prouder 🥹🥹🥹💜
Thank you all for being such a wonderful community 🫶✨
Every time I see an ad for Cinderella I get angry that that uninspired, unoriginal show has a ton of money, is transferring to Broadway and meanwhile pure brilliance
@mincemeatlive
is sold out every night without a West End transfer or a cast recording.
I have a lot of feelings about everything that happened in the past week but right now all I can think of is: last night we had the first SpitLip-less show in history and look at the legacy those wonderful idiots built. 🥹
They will talk about Operation Mincemeat for years 💜✨
So with the murder mystery jokes about that fabulous What’s On Stage photo of the mince cast, this idea wouldn’t leave my brain until I did it. So let me present you your suspects. The crime and who is guilty? You decide.
Alternatively: casting for S3 of Traitors.
Can’t give these amazing people a big congratulatory hug right now so this will have to do 💜💜💜💜💜
Silly to once again be so emotional and so proud, but look at this:
@mincemeatbway
!!!! How could I not? 🥹
When you start a community on Twitter because you’re obsessed with a show and your friends can’t stand to hear you talk about it anymore and then suddenly you’re featured

Last night 80 Operation Mincemeat fans watched the show dressed up as characters as part of
#OperationInterestingMan
!
Making up almost a quarter of the audience at the Fortune Theatre, they represented each of the 32 characters.

Alright
@mincemeatlive
I’m gonna need you all to become ridiculously famous and/or get involved in some kind of scandal in a few years because considering the amount of money I’m spending on tickets, this is gonna be the closest I’ll get to a retirement plan
Being a mincefluencer is definitely a hobby that should be covered by insurance. You may, at any point, get hit with: spit. A wedding ring. A plank. And as of tonight a wholeass clipboard.

🥸🚦 it’s been an extremely busy time for these agents. Time to pause and let sink in all the amazing moments we shared these past few days. Thanks to the silly little (Olivier Award Winning) yellow show and each other. 🫡💛
The lady behind me in the queue for the toilet asked me why I keep coming back and it’s this. All of this.
The community, all 9 cast members, this amazing show and above all just how genuinely NICE people are and everyone plays everyone else up on and off stage. It’s good stuff
Hard to face Monday when I got to spend the Sunday running around London with

@rcrossgve
@sophmessage
(and not on Twitter Sarah) jumping around and being silly. Anyway, we have our orders 💛
There are 15 reasons why a very specific group of unhinged geniuses should be alarmed for the next 7 days. This is absolutely one of them.

Proper post now that I'm not rushing out of the theatre!
Holly won for Best Understudy
@JakMalonee
won for Rising Star
and while
@NatashaHodgson
didn't the award for Best West End performer, we know she is one of 9, so
And finally
@mincemeatlive
won for Best Musical!
Wholesome moment of the evening: I’m finally taking my mom to Mince tomorrow but her English isn’t great and her friend who is coming along doesn’t speak much at all. So they’re studying the lyrics to have an idea of what the songs say.
Mean Girls first preview interval thoughts: OMFG TINA FEY IS THREE ROWS FROM ME!
Also this show is soooo good!!!! 👍 be been obsessed with the soundtrack for ages but seeing the whole thing is so much better than I could have pictured in my head. OBSESSED.
There are about 15 types of animals that can handle the low temperatures of the next seven days. Let's hope Magnificently Deranged Fools are one of them.

So silly. So proud. So grateful.
“When you’re in a theatre you’re never alone” was the truest quote of the night.
Mincefluencers are the best and Mincemeat is (officially) the best.
I can’t put into worst just how much joy this show has brought me.
feels a bit silly i didn't know any of these people a year ago, forever grateful for our silly OLIVIER WINNING MUSICAL !!!!!! and these SILLY SILLY WONDERFUL FRIENDS 🫶
Although I am sad not to be there I’m just seeing all these posts and pics and videos and I’m so proud of everyone in it and I just 🥹🥹🥹🥹 this show. This community. It’s just special 💛
A short snippet of today’s
@mincemeatlive
Hester Plaque Unveiling. Incredible, and very emotional speeches including by
@Greg_Callus
who reveals the plaque with
@patientgrissel
. Full speech to come…
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.

WELCOME TO LONDON! It’s the future but this is the only hat I got! Oi!
#OperationInterestingMan
is the gift that keeps on giving, thank you
@Clogs_H
for fab pics!
In the recent years the best shows I’ve seen are New British Musicals I saw
@swkplay
.
Obviously my beloved
@mincemeatlive
is going to Bway. Hopefully
@Ride_Musical
will be back.
And now
@TCCOBBmusical
has opened in the West End and what a gift to theatre it is 💜 go see it!
Crappy mental health day? Overly stressed? Work being a pain in the ass? Anxiety crisis?
The perfect cure: last minute tickets for a new bingo combo at the yellow show with a bunch of familiar faces 💛
Pride
@frozenlondon
was such a nice wholesome experience and seeing Samantha as Elsa saying Happy Pride while wearing a pride flag as a cape healed me. Happy Pride indeed! 💜🌈✨❄️
Happy 7(!) year Londonversary to me! Moved here with two suitcases, no job and not knowing a single person. Can’t believe how much has happened, how much I’ve changed, how many amazing people I’ve met since 🥹💜 and that I get to call London home, 16 yo Val’s mind would be blown
Before I took my chap to
@mincemeatlive
I explained how Natasha-As-Monty had triggered a sexuality crisis for me. After the show (which he loved) he said “Well, I’m not having a crisis. Monty was just plain hot.” 😍
Amongst all the chaos I just want to thank
@DaveyCumming
for making Monty/Charlie queerness canon last night.
And
@JakMalonee
for playing that the hell up while corpsing.
Can we please stop overly relying on cameras and huge screens on stage in theatres? PLEASE.
Some of it is fine if it adds to the experience but I don’t go into a theatre (and pay theatre prices) to watch a screen. No matter how brilliant the performances are.
What a privilege to have been able to witness another historical show in the life of
@mincemeatlive
🥹
First second cover to go on and
@GeriAllenActor
was phenomenal. the amount of talent between the nine of them os really just unfair.
How do I tell my friends and family I will not be able to respond to messages and calls until Tuesday due to lack of emotional capacity?

Not sure when this happened but we have surpassed 700 in the

As Monty would say: that’s too many.
But you’re welcome to join us here if you wish!
The plan is set in motion. The wheels are turning. History is in the making.

You know you’re surrounded by theatre people when two phenomenons happen around 7/7:30 every day:
- Your group chats go very quiet
- Your timelines are full of pics of programs+stages
I have so many feelings and thoughts. I’ve run a lot of communities before but none as full of shining examples of what humans can be as this. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have found this show, these creatives, cast and each other. Thank you to every single one of you. 💜
Damn for my usual engagement of one-two likes per tweet on a good day, this is exploding.
Follow
@sirens_musical
for more stories of women getting back what belongs to them maybe? 🦸♀️
I can’t thank this lady enough. I still can’t believe this happened. So I give her my testimony, get my phone back and go buy my friends some dinner because this was some Scooby Gang work today man.
