About Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is an original musical about the joy of unexpected connection. Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts “blindingly spark” (NY Post) in this “effervescent new musical comedy” (NY Times) that’s swiftly become the toast of this Broadway season, earning 8 Tony Award® nominations including Best Musical. With a fabulous score of instant classics and a surprising story that’s equally hilarious and heartfelt, Two Strangers “achieves something magical” (Vulture). Don’t be a stranger — book now.

The Story

You’ll 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. And you’ll 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.

Charming, funny show

"Really charming show with two amazing actors. I was afraid with just two characters, I may not enjoy it. I was wrong. It's one of the best shows I've seen this year. "

Great dance and vocals - interesting plot twists

"The two actors who carry this show are equally wonderful. Both are great singers and dancers with an excellent sense of comic timing. The show was funny, engaging, heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. The plot was deeper than I expected. I loved this show from start to finish!"

Mesmerizing

"So wonderful—would see it again! I went with a group of five friends from out of town to celebrate my 50th birthday and just loved it—from the clever set, to the talented musicians and actors, I sat there rapt. Charming, poignant story that made us laugh AND cry. Loved our seats up in the balcony with a direct view of the stage. Only critique: The music was quite loud so I was grateful I’d brought my loop experience earplugs! Anyone with sensory issues might want to do the same."

Entertaining from opening note!

We need more originality like Two Strangers

"Witty, heartfelt, strong performances. I was hooked the entire time. The show didn’t need much in terms of stage set up and only two characters because that’s just how powerful the writing was. It helped me tap better into my imagination. "
