Operation Mincemeat Welcomes New All‑American Cast After Blizzard‑Shuffled Farewell

A citywide cancellation redirected the British company's goodbye into a matinee bow with a global livestream.

Overview

  • The Broadway League scrapped all Feb. 22 evening performances for public safety, converting only matinees to proceed as scheduled.
  • Operation Mincemeat canceled its 7:30 p.m. finale, making the 2 p.m. matinee the original British cast’s last Broadway show.
  • Both ensembles shared a 15‑person curtain call at the matinee, capping the handover with a surprise reprise of “Sail On, Boys.”
  • The departing quintet performed a 5:30 p.m. Instagram concert from the Laurie Beechman Theatre, drawing over 6,500 viewers and saluting roughly 790 ticketholders.
  • Beginning Feb. 24 at the Golden Theatre, principals Julia Knitel and Jeff Kready join Brandon Contreras, Jessi Kirtley, and Amanda Jill Robinson as the production continues its Broadway run, with lottery and rush tickets available.
