Tony and double Olivier Award-winning musical Operation Mincemeat coming to Blackpool in extended UK tour

Blackpool Grand Theatre has announced that Tony and double Olivier Award-winning musical Operation Mincemeat will visit from 15–19 June 2027, as part of an extended leg of its UK tour.

The show has confirmed a second national tour after selling more than 290,000 tickets and playing over 20 weeks of sold-out performances on its first outing. The new leg begins in Dartford on 23 February 2027 and runs for 36 weeks, taking in Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Leicester, Blackpool and a return to The Lowry in Salford.

The announcement comes as the production continues its global success, with its West End run at London's Fortune Theatre now in a fifth year, a Broadway engagement following its Tony win, and productions planned across four continents. The first UK tour leg concludes on 28 November after 304 performances.

Andrew Howard, Head of Audience, Marketing and Sales at Blackpool Grand Theatre, said: "We are absolutely thrilled that Blackpool Grand Theatre has been included in the second leg of the Operation Mincemeat UK tour.

“This remarkable production has become one of the biggest success stories in British theatre, earning widespread critical acclaim, multiple Olivier Awards, a Tony Award and an incredible response from audiences around the world."

"Bringing the very best touring productions to Blackpool is at the heart of what we do, and Operation Mincemeat is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after theatre tickets in the UK right now. We know audiences across the Fylde Coast and beyond will be excited by the opportunity to experience this brilliantly inventive and wildly entertaining musical on our stage.

“It's fantastic news for both the theatre and the town to welcome a production of this calibre to Blackpool in 2027."

Tickets will go on pre-sale to Grand Theatre 1894 club members at 10am on Wednesday 23 September 2026, with general sale beginning at 10am on Friday 25 September 2026.
