Jak Malone just won a Tony for his Broadway debut!

The 30-year-old British actor picked up a win for his work in Operation Mincemeat at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 8) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Jak won for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical.

Jak was joined at the event by co-stars David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts, who all wrote the show and were nominated for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.

The cast performed “Born to Lead” during the show, which you can watch below.

During his acceptance speech, Jak talked about portraying a woman in the show.

“And if you watched our show and found yourself believing in Hester, well then I am so glad to tell you that intentionally or otherwise, you might have just bid for farewell to cynicism, to outdated ideas, to that rotten old binary and opened yourself up to a world that is already out there in glorious technicolor and isn’t going away,” Jak said.

The new musical Operation Mincemeat is now open on Broadway after taking London’s West End by storm!

Original cast members Zoe Roberts, Claire-Marie Hall, Jak Malone, Natasha Hodgson, and David Cumming walked the red carpet together at the opening night performance on Thursday (March 21) at the Golden Theatre in New York City.

The five actors, several of whom also helped co-write the musical, all starred in the West End production back in 2023 and they’ve brought the show to New York for a limited run. Originally scheduled to run for 16 weeks only, Operation Mincemeat has already extended its run two times due to popular demand and tickets are on sale through August 18.

Several celebs stepped out for the opening night performance, including Jesse Eisenberg, Samuel L. Jackson with director Kenny Leon, Dylan Mulvaney, and Sydney Lemmon.

In Operation Mincemeat, “it’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.”

The show was nominated for six Olivier Awards and won two – Best New Musical and Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Jak Malone.

Broadway critics are giving glowing reviews to the musical with TheaterMania calling it “a highlight of the season” and Variety notes the show has “comic madness and theatrical joy.”
