New West End cast announced for OPERATION MINCEMEAT

As the Olivier and Tony Award® winning musical, Operation Mincemeat, enters its fourth year in the West End, is in its 2nd year on Broadway and journeys on the UK leg of a landmark global tour with a soon to start North American leg, its brand new cast members are set to take to the stage of London’s Fortune Theatre for the first time tonight (11 May).

Ahmed Hamad (Sunset Boulevard, Standing at the Sky’s Edge), Charlotte Fleming* (Mrs Doubtfire) and Colm Gleeson (The Play That Goes Wrong) are the newest recruits to the Operation Mincemeat principal cast. They are joined by the return of Chloë Hart, who continues her role for a third year, and Madeleine Jackson-Smith, who initially took a hiatus from her Musical Theatre MA at the Royal Academy of Music to join the production as a cover role in the multi-rolling ensemble now taking on a principal role. Jason Kajdi is joined by Amy Parker (13 Going on 30), Benjamin Durham (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and Molly Cutter (NewsRevue), completing the fourth West End company.

*Charlotte Fleming bears no relation to Ian Fleming, though the coincidence is warmly welcomed by the production.

Operation Mincemeat is now playing simultaneously in London, where it enjoys its 18th extension booking until 20 February 2027, on tour across the UK and in New York, having confirmed its eighth extension at the John Golden Theatre, with performances now booking through 17 January 2027.
