one fact about operation mincemeat that i am absolutely heartbroken they left out of the musical is the fact that charles cholmondeley wore bill's uniform for 3 months to wear it out. i'm really just picturing charlie walking onto stage in the uniform, all the characters immediately treating him like a new, really cool character before he speaks and characters and audience alike realise 'oh. that's just charlie. fine'.
#it's funnier in my head#but i think it'd be silly#it would make all the costume changes more difficult sure but what's an easy costume change in the face of 3 seconds of comedy#another real life fact that i wish they'd put in the musical#is that willie watkins was apparently at bill's autopsy#would love to see anything with that#again wouldn't work as well with the costumes#(the autopsy scene's costume are some of my favourite- love me some pastel signature colours#but god i want to see the battle between#sweaty englishman vs cocky american vs confused spanish#operation mincemeat#operation mincemeat musical#charlie#charles cholmondeley
