Are you ready for your next mission, agent? Should you choose to accept, we have the perfect assignment for you, one that, if done correctly, might just help us win the war! In your briefing, you’ll find instructions to join in on our conversation about the music and stagecraft of this hilarious new Broadway musical, Operation Mincemeat! That’s right, we’re continuing our discussion of the Tony Award-winning musical, which went from a limited engagement to the show that keeps extending time and time again.

In this episode of the BSB Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko break down the musicality of Operation Mincemeat and see how it stacks up comparatively to the other shows currently on Broadway. What classification would they place the songs and music in? Does it have an old Broadway feel, or is this more of a pop show, similar to Six or Hamilton? What about the staging stood out to these two theater critics, and did it add to the story or detract from it? These two also weigh in on who Operation Mincemeat is aimed at and give their final verdict on the show!
