What’s up everybody?! I’ve been up to a lot since my last blog post a few days ago, including getting some vegan (and non-vegan) fish and chips! Today, despite all of the other things I’ve been doing, I am going to talk a little bit about the show that we saw last night called Operation …

Operation Mincemeat
Imagine. The world is at war, and you are losing. You desperately need to strike the opposing forces, but your plans must not be discovered. To take it further than that, you need to create an entirely fake set of plans to feed the enemy in the hopes that they will leave a key location …
Spies, Allies, and a Dead Body.
Can you keep a secret? This show was something 11 year old Kaylee would have gone absolutely crazy for. I went through an obsession with spies and would only read fiction books about teenage girls who were completely badass spies. This musical, however, is based on a real story! As crazy as it seems, Operation …
The Art of EDM Nazi Hip Hop
Mincemeat. The ingredients usually include spice, fat, nuts, sugar, fruits, and…. meat. The term for this food comes from 15th Century England, when this mincemeat was made to preserve meat. (I am getting this information from the Food Network, so if it is incorrect, blame them). What is Operation Mincemeat, you might ask? A really …
The Affair of Ground Beef
Operation Minced Meat was an absolute spectacle to watch on the stage. I enjoyed every moment of this hilarious musical. We’ve been on run of deep and dramatic straight plays, so it felt nice to stray away from that and get something a little more light hearted. I really appreciate the direction this show decided …
ERB: Allies vs Nazis
Today we saw Operation Mincemeat and it was terrific. The music, lighting, and choreography was amazing. Several scenes the choreography was so good that I was baffled at how only five actors could pull it off. The comedic timing of the script and delivery of the lines made the entire performance an attention pulling spectacle. …
Operation Dance Party *disco guy emoji
I loved this show! In terms of spying (if I’m understanding the prompt correctly) I think that spies are veryyy frowned upon in this time. Throughout the show they thought that Montague was a spy giving information to his brother, when in reality, he was just writing a short film? This was such a weird …
The meat was minced
Spying, a form of deception, was portrayed in Operation Mincemeat through Montagu being suspected of passing along confidential operation plans with his brother who was suspected of being a communist spy for the Nazis. The news of this suspicion slowly spread throughout the play letting a new character in on it as it progressed. As …
London Tide…WOW
London Tide premiered in April 2024 and is being performed in the West End at the National Theatre. This production was adapted to the stage by Ben Power from the Charles Dickens’ novel, Our Mutual Friend. London Tide is directed by Ian Rickson, who has also directed many shows including The Red Lion, Evening at …
London Tide
Yesterday we saw “London Tide” at the National Theatre. When I first walked in I was very confused because all the electrics were down near the stage and as the start time approached and they didn’t move I was worried a tech issue would cancel the performance. Thankfully, it was a part of the show …
