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 uncommonly surprising musical about finding common ground. Tony Award® nominees Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts star as Dougal and Robin, an unlikely pair who spend three life-changing days together in NYC. With a score of instant classics and a story that’s equally hilarious and heartfelt, Two Strangers is a completely original musical that “achieves something magical” (Vulture).

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.

A Breath of Fresh Air - A Must See Before It Leaves

"Two Strangers was the first of nine shows I saw during my most recent trip to NYC. I am so glad that I started with this show because it was so fresh, so funny, and lighthearted despite the heavy topics it touches upon (dysfunctional families, messy weddings, and missing/found family). Charismatic Dougal and No-Nonsense Robin meet in New York days before a wedding involving their relatives. Almost against Robin's will, she forms a bond with Dougal, and it's not what you think it is. Please see this show before it leaves. Sam and Christiani are a perfect duo!"

Fanastic and hilarious

"My friends and I were not sure what to expect but we all loved it. It was funny, heartwarming with wonderful singing. Sam Tutty is perfect for the role and has a large vocal range"

...

Peggy K from Baltimore on Oct 27, 2026

Best Show since Evan Hanson

"Amazing show. Best show since Dear Evan Hanson, which Sam Tutty starred in the London production. He won the Olivia award for best actor for that part...no surprise. I highly reccommend before it hits the road!!! I should also mention that Christiani Pitts is also amazing!!! The Best Dynamic duo since Batman and Robin!!! "

...

Lance H from Monroe on Oct 25, 2026

Fun lighthearted musical.

"My wife and I saw “two strangers carrying a cake” across New York. We both very much enjoyed it, more so than we had expected. Both the leads were excellent and so was the music. I like the first Act more than the second, but that’s typically how I feel when I see shows."
