The best-reviewed West End musical in history arrives in Sheffield
Fresh from conquering the West End and Broadway, Operation Mincemeat lands at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield — a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud musical based on one of the most unbelievable true stories of World War II.

Winner of the 2024 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and now a Tony Award®-winning production, Operation Mincemeat holds a unique record: 88 five-star reviews, making it the most acclaimed show in West End history.
What’s the story?
1943. The war is going badly.

Britain is desperate. The solution?
A stolen corpse. A fake love letter. And one outrageously risky lie.

Inspired by a real British intelligence operation, the show tells the astonishing tale of how an audacious deception helped change the course of World War II — fooling Nazi high command and wrong-footing Adolf Hitler at a critical moment.

Blending fast-paced storytelling with musical comedy, the show asks one irresistible question:
How did a dead body, forged documents, and — of all people — Ian Fleming — come together to help win the war?
Why audiences are raving
Described as Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is:
Hilarious, ingenious and emotionally sharp
Packed with rapid-fire role changes and musical wit
Proof that truth can be stranger — and funnier — than fiction
It’s history, satire and sheer theatrical brilliance rolled into one unstoppable production.

Event details

Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years. It is considered of international importance due to being the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listing in 1998. There followed a regeneration scheme, the first phase being shortlisted for the Stirling prize for architecture in 2013, which continues today. It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, tv, music, artworks and on stage.

Join a resident-led 90 minute tour to walk the Streets in the Sky. Your guide will take you through the history of Park Hill, exploring the inspirations behind its design as well as its architectural concepts and distinctive details. Along the way, you’ll hear about the people who played a part in its story and gain insight into what life here is like today. There will also be an opportunity to see inside a renovated flat.  A spring or summer visit is the perfect time to see our gardens in bloom and to take in the spectacular views over the city and into the countryside beyond.
