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 NewYork) 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.
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.

Amazing show!
"I wasnt sure what to expect but was completely blown away by this musical. There was an understudy for the female lead for our performance and she absolutely blew it away. The cast, story, music, and set design were all amazing. I can see why they were nominated for the Tony awards. "

A wonderful show
"I didn’t know what to expect. I saw an ad and thought I want to see that. After seeing the Tonys I gained a little insight to the show and was taken by not only the performance, but also the set.
What performances we saw! Both performers were amazing at singing and acting (we saw the standby Phoenix Best as Robin). The story didn’t have a false step. Back to the sets. The set pieces were so clever. I just loved how it all worked! I left feeling so much better for getting to meet these characters. "

Unexpected gem!
"This show was so much more than we thought it would be. I watched a Saturday matinee performance with my wife and 14 yr old daughter. It’s amazing how two actors and a simple set can take us on such a comedic, emotional and deeply human journey. The performance was exceptional. We all laughed harder than we had at any of the previous 8 shows that we have seen. 100% recommended for 13+ age group and adults."

Hit of Broadway
"The show was much funnier than anticipated and the short sample on the Tony award show did not do the cast credit. They were awesome."
