Tony preview: 'Operation Mincemeat' delves into quirky history

The musical Operation Mincemeat, based on a World War II British deception, was highlighted during the Tony Awards airing Sunday night on CBS.
The story depicts how the British deceived the Nazis by using a dead body disguised as a British officer carrying fabricated documents to suggest a false invasion site.
Five actors portray many roles, with Jak Malone playing Hester Leggatt, a rare female MI-5 agent who pens the crucial 'Dear Bill' note planted on the corpse.
Critics praised the show as an inspiring creative work, describing the 'Dear Bill' note as the most effective element and Malone's performance as the night's most touching.
Operation Mincemeat encourages audiences to explore historical material and warns that learning from the past helps to avoid repeating mistakes.
