A New York Times Critics’ Pick, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) “delivers lavishly on laughter, escape, and fantasy.”
Meet Dougal, an impossibly upbeat Brit who has just landed in New York City for the first time to attend the wedding of the father he’s never met. Meet Robin, the sister of the bride and a no-nonsense New Yorker with a lot of errands to do for the bride—including picking up the groom’s estranged son from the airport.
These two strangers begin their journey together navigating New York City, secrets, and second chances. The Boston Globe proclaims, it’s “IRRESISTIBLE! Clever, funny, and delightfully surprising!”
"We absolutely loved this show! Amazing.Do not miss this one. "

Laughed so hard I cried!

The icing on the cake…
"This musical was absolutely incredible, funny, and entertaining. The storyline definitely will keep you engaged not to mention the back and forth quips between the two of them. They carried this musical entirely and I stand amazed in how they executed this in a dramatic, spectacular way. It is truly a must see!!! "
