SUMMARY:Operation Mincemeat
DESCRIPTION:Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London’s biggest hit with 113 Five-Star reviews making it the best-reviewed show in West End history. Now also a Tony-nominated Best Musical on Broadway! \nThe year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily\, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. \nSingin’ 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. \nBursting 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?

SUMMARY:Nigel Havers
DESCRIPTION:Well\, I loved my first tour – and I think the audiences did too – so here we go again! \nJoin me\, a stage\, and a lifetime of gloriously ridiculous stories to share with you. You’ll get the full Havers experience: charm\, wit\, and absolutely no running in slow motion. \nI’ll be taking you on a thoroughly entertaining trot through five decades in showbiz. From my early days as a fresh-faced drama school hopeful\, to the highs and lows of a career that’s seen me in everything from Chariots Of Fire and Empire Of The Sun to Don’t Wait Up and some rather marvellous West End plays – and more than my fair share of Palladium Pantos. \nOf course\, there’ll be behind-the-scenes gossip\, tales of triumph (and disaster)\, moments of sheer madness\, and a fair bit of talking b*ll*cks. \nAnd just when you think you’ve got me figured out\, I might surprise you. Let’s just say there’s a taste of my very first acting role and a little showcase of one of my off-stage talents – I’ll leave you guessing. \nSo\, come along for a night of laughter\, nostalgia\, and\, dare I say\, charm. It’s going to be a lot of fun – I promise.
