What's On in Cardiff
Tuesday 15 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Tuesday in Cardiff might feel like a mid-week lull, but the city has other ideas entirely. Tonight, the New Theatre throws open its doors to one of the most infectiously clever musicals to come out of Britain in years, and frankly, that is reason enough to dust off your going-out shoes and make an evening of it.
Highlights
Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical — If you think you know what a wartime espionage story looks and sounds like, Operation Mincemeat is about to gleefully prove you wrong. This wildly inventive, award-winning musical takes the stranger-than-fiction true story of a World War Two deception operation and sets it to an irresistibly sharp, genre-hopping score that veers from comedy to heartbreak and back again before you have had time to catch your breath. The New Theatre is a gorgeous setting for a night like this, so book your seat, get there for 7:30pm, and prepare to be thoroughly, delightfully surprised. Tickets: Check website.
