A new partnership between Hal Leonard and Avalon has been arranged to represent the global physical and digital print interests for Operation Mincemeat.
Playing simultaneously in the West End, on Broadway and on tour, the WhatsOnStage Award winning musical comedy is based on a true story of the twisted secret mission that helped win World War II.
The arrangement will see Hal Leonard develop and distribute a range of official sheet music publications, beginning with the Operation Mincemeat Vocal Selections folio, with preorder available.
Further physical and digital formats will follow as part of a wider product schedule bringing the show’s music to performers, musicians and fans internationally.
Louise Unsworth, global head of publishing strategy and partnerships at Hal Leonard / Muse Group, said: “We are proud to partner with Operation Mincemeat, a show with an extraordinary track record of five-star reviews and sold-out extensions. As the production expands internationally — with the West End, Broadway and world tour shows running concurrently — we’re thrilled to help deepen the connection between the show and its growing global fanbase through a new range of official print publications.”
Jon Thoday, producer at Avalon, added: “We’re delighted to partner with Hal Leonard, a leader in music publishing. As Operation Mincemeat continues to build its global fanbase, this partnership paves the way for audiences and performers around the world to experience the music in a new and exciting way.”
Operation Mincemeat is produced in the West End, on Broadway, and on tour by Avalon (in association with SpitLip). The show was commissioned by New Diorama Theatre, co-commissioned by The Lowry, and also supported by the Rhinebeck Writers Retreat.
