Singin' In The Rain meets Strangers On A Train in this fast-paced, hilarious new musical about a real-life operation in World War II.
It's 1943 and the war isn't going well, so bungling British intelligence officers come up with a madcap plan to trick the enemy by stuffing some made-up information into a well-dressed corpse.
If all goes well then the twisted mission might actually help us win the war, but are we really about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse?
What the theatre critics say...
Financial Times: ★★★★★ "There are some big, blowsy shows around in the West End, but this little belter is staging its own audacious invasion plan."; Daily Mirror: ★★★★★ "A miraculous musical that tells the entire story in a kind of accelerated farce that is part Mel Brooks, part SIX, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors"; Daily Mail: ★★★★★ "But whoof! It blew the roof clean off. Hoots and tears welcomed this ingenious, touching musical. Taut lyrics, vintage gags, a wild tale and tunes that followed me out into the night air, in hums and whistles. Perfection... An artisanal masterpiece"
