On the evening of February 22, the original Broadway cast of Operation Mincemeat were supposed to give their final performance in the show, before they departed back home to the U.K. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans, as a blizzard forced all of Broadway to go dark last night.

But rather than disappoint their fans, the cast decided to give a final performance for the ages—doing a livestreamed concert at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on 42nd Street, which had been previously booked to host the Mincemeat final performance afterparty. In front of an invited audience of friends and family (and a livestream audience of 6,500), cast members David Cumming, Natasha Hodgson, Zoë Roberts, Jak Malone, and Claire-Marie Hall performed songs from their musical and reflected on their individual journey on the show. Watch the complete concert in the video above.

That's not all though! At their actual final performance of Mincemeat, which took place at 2 PM February 22, the original Mincemeat cast passed the proverbial torch to the new Mincemeat cast members with a special 15-member curtain call performance of "Sail On, Boys." See the curtain call video below.

The curtain call included new Broadway cast members Brandon Contreras, Jessi Kirtley, Tony Award Nominee Julia Knitel, Jeff Kready, and Amanda Jill Robinson, plus understudies Robert Ariza, Allison Guinn, Sam Hartley, Gerianne Pérez, and Lexi Rabadi. See photos below.

Operation Mincemeat is the work of U.K. comedy group SpitLip, which comprises Cumming, Hodgson, Roberts, and Felix Hagan—who took the lead on the project's music.

The show tells a wacky, stranger-than-fiction story that is somehow completely true, following a World War II scheme in which British Intelligence officials dressed up a corpse as an officer in the Royal Marines in order to fool the German government into believing an Allied attack on Greece and Sardinia was imminent, covering up their true plans to invade Sicily in the process. Spoiler alert—it actually worked.

An import from the West End, Mincemeat won two Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical and Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Jak Malone. It won one Tony Award, also for Malone's performance.

Mincemeat is directed by Robert Hastie, who's reunited his full London creative team, including choreographer Jenny Arnold, music director and supervisor Joe Bunker, orchestrator Steve Sidwell, set and costume designer Ben Stones, lighting designer Mark Henderson, and sound designer Mike Walker. Karen Moore serves as production stage manager.

The production is offering $39 tickets via a digital lottery program (enter at Rush.Telecharge.com) and $49 rush tickets in person daily at the Golden Theatre box office.

The Broadway run is produced by Avalon in association with SpitLip. Andrew Fell serves as executive producer.
