Superb
Omg! This is one of my favorite musicals of all time. I am so glad I saw it. It was a little less than $70 on Trip advisor. It was 2.5 hours with a 15 minute long intermission. It was a full house when I went.

Difficult to Follow
The sound quality was bad, so you had trouble hearing the dialogue. It was entertaining, but longer than it needed to be.

Worst Show on Broadway
We were very disappointed in the musical, Operation Mincemeat, at the Golden Theater. My husband and I were both looking forward to a fun performance with historical significance and comedic elements that would be entertaining to the audience. Instead, we were completely bored by the script, performances and confused by the lack of comedy in the show. We left a little after the second act in the hopes that it would get better, but it never did. The cross gender casting for the roles was not intended to provide any comedy to the performance. Since this musical was based on a book and eventual movie of the same name, we were aware of the many characters and their gender. Instead, this musical cast women to play most of the male roles and men to play some of the female roles and if they did indeed play male roles, they were wearing full makeup complete with false eyelashes in military uniform. The effect was rather jarring & off putting especially since they didn’t use this type of casting in any comedic way and it was not a drag show. The totality of the cast was sparse and many numbers and jokes fell flat. This musical was one of the worst we have ever seen and we are frequent Broadway theater attendees.

A must see
The theater was packed but they had plenty of ushers to seat you. The musical started promptly at 2. The actors were amazing. We had 2 understudies who definitely held up their end against the stars. The crazy amount of dialogue, staging and timing was spectacular. Their energy was infectious and the script totally unpredictable in a fabulous way. When i read what operation mincemeat was actually about i had doubts i would like it- it was a unbelievable fun, professional and finely crafted show. Loved it.

Amazing show
Absolutely fabulous show. The actors were amazingly skilful instantly turning into extra characters whilst still on stage. Really catchy songs and very well written. The only reason for the one star off was the seating in the theatre. It is exceptionally cramped. Fine when sitting with your own family but if sat next to strangers it is a little too cosy. Suggest leaving a gap where possible for your comfort

Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket?
+
Included: All taxes and fees included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket?
+
The experience starts at Golden Theatre, 252 W 45th St, New York City, New York, 10036, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket?
+

Is Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical on Broadway Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
