Let Marta’s expertise and vibrant personality guide you through this unforgettable Bronx adventure—she’s a hit with our groups for a reason! 

Included Evening Theater: Operation Mincemeat

With a small cast playing multiple roles, this clever and sharply written musical blends British comedy and compelling storytelling to recount the incredible true story of how the Allies used a dead body and forged documents to fool Hitler and turn the tide of WWII. Step back to 1943, when the war seemed almost unwinnable for the Allied Forces—until a brilliant, utterly bizarre plan was hatched. Operation Mincemeat brings to life a wildly improbable, top-secret operation involving a stolen corpse carrying fake documents designed to mislead the enemy. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper—with a cheeky nod to Fleming himself—this show is a rollercoaster of espionage, wit, and heart. A hilarious and thrilling journey through history, it brilliantly blends suspense with sharp humor to show how clever deception changed everything. If you love spycraft, unexpected twists, and irreverent humor, Operation Mincemeat is the must-see musical of the season!
