Listen "‘Operation Mincemeat’ actor Jak Malone"
Episode Synopsis
Jak Malone made his debut this season as part of the ensemble company of “Operation Mincemeat.” The musical tells the story of the real-life MI5 military mission that took place during World War II. Written by sketch comedy troupe SpitLip, “Operation Mincemeat” is structured so that every actor plays multiple roles in the musical. That goes for Malone, who tugs at heartstrings as the modest Hester Leggatt, draws laughter as the eccentric Bernard Spilsbury and spurs solemnity as a navyman.Here, Malone tells host Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News, about his showstopping ballad “Dear Bill,” his range of characters and the intricate staging that makes the musical move at high speed.Want to be the first to hear these chats?
