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.

Perfect casting!

"I knew nothing about the production other than it was a musical. One of the very best I’ve seen on Broadway! "

Beverly Y from Apple Valley on Jun 25, 2026

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. "

Michael Y from SELLERSBURG on Jun 23, 2026

A wonderful surprise.

"So happy we saw this. It was great fun. I laughed so much and it even brought me to tears. Fantastic performances 👏 Go see it! You won't be disappointed. "

Dwayne G from London on Jun 22, 2026

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. "

stephen M from Philadelphia on Jun 21, 2026

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."
