Acting grad makes Broadway debut

Acting graduate Jak Malone (2018) has made his Broadway debut after Operation Mincemeat transferred from the West End to the Golden Theatre, New York City.

Jak's been with the show for nearly six years and won the 2024 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

Jak told us last year. "I’ve been with the production since 2019, workshopping and doing smaller runs leading up to the West End. It’s been challenging but so enriching and it’s changed my life completely. I love the show, I always believed in it and am so happy to have been there to see it succeed.

“Making the show has always been a collaborative process. And that was always one of my big takeaways from my training. LIPA taught me to be a team player, to look out for the company, to always take opportunities to learn and engage with what everyone in the building is doing. That was always my favourite thing about LIPA and I’m so glad it’s knowledge I’m still using to this day.”
