That's right! We are headed to Broadway for a day trip to see the critically acclaimed musical, OPERATION MINCEMEAT: A NEW MUSICAL at the Golden Theatre!
Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London's biggest hit with 74 Five-Star reviews making it “the best-reviewed show in West End history”
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?
“a little show with a very big future”
David Benedict, Variety
“Hilarious tale makes Mincemeat out of its rivals...Before curtain I talked to a fan seeing this for the seventh time. I wondered why anyone would see the same show seven times. Now I know.”
Neil Armstrong, The Mail On Sunday
Just like any UMW Theatre Road Trip, we will board the bus in Fredericksburg, VA at duPont Hall (home of Klein Theatre) and travel to the theatre!
We will depart at exactly 0600 (6:00 am) and begin the trip to New York City. The bus will drop us off at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and, time permitting, everyone will be given some time to explore and get lunch on your own before meeting at the Golden Theatre at 1300 (1:30 pm) for a 1400 (2:00 pm) curtain! After the show, there will be a little time for further exploring and getting dinner before boarding the bus back at the Marriott Marquis at 1830 (6:30 pm) for the trip back to Fredericksburg.
