I loved everything about it. It was extraordinary. The actors were fantastic. I recommend it to everyone."

Spectacular!!!
"Such an amazing performance! Seeing a Broadway show has always been a dream of mine, this show was the perfect first. Dougal’s visit to New York was such an honest and hilarious reality to many of us tourists. Bonus, my husband begrudgingly tagged along, he laughed so hard he instantly asked when we are making another trip to New York for another show! The brilliant writing and the performers chemistry made this a show for the ages ❤️"

I traveled to New York to see this show!
"I was not disappointed by my choice in coming to New York for this show! The talent was outstanding, the tech was inventive and fun, the band was perfection, and the music was like listening to the soundtrack. I had only heard the songs so seeing the story play out was wonderful; especially because it was funny, sassy, sweet, charming and deep. It felt real! "

Inspired My First NYC Trip
"I saw Sam Tutty on Tik Tok singing New York and I knew I had to see this play. I have seen a lot of shows, but never on Broadway. I planned a trip with my sister and uncle who love theatre, all based on the social media I saw of Sam and Christiani. It was an incredible show. The music I already knew I loved, but I was blown away by their chemistry and the comedy. We were laughing the entire show! I was so excited for this show and it surpassed my expectations! Already planning a trip back to see it again! Also loved that Sam and Christiani came to stage door to sign and take pics!"

It was an incredible show- I laughed start to finish, the songs were wonderful, the leads have amazing chemistry and ooodles of talent, a tongue in cheek cheesiness that’s in perfect taste. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. "

Funny, charming, really enjoyable
"This was a really fun time at the theater and one of my favorite musicals I’ve seen on Broadway in a while. It’s pretty simple and straightforward. Just two actors, simple set, but it really works for this show. This show really hinges on the two leads and their chemistry, and they were both fantastic. Very funny, charming, and at times touching. Definitely recommend. "

Thoroughly enjoyed
"My husband I both loved the story line, the comedic dialogue and the music. The actors had great chemistry and delivered their lines spectacularly.
At times I found it difficult to hear a few of Dougal's lines. Wished “the volume” was higher."

About
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)
Fall in love with New York City again, or for the first time, at Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), now on Broadway. A New York Times Critics’ Pick, Two Strangers is “an effervescent new musical comedy that delivers lavishly on laughter, escape, and fantasy.”
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.
The Boston Globe proclaims, Two Strangers is “IRRESISTIBLE! Clever, funny, and delightfully surprising!”, and it has been named on the Best of 2025 lists from USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and New York Theatre Guide.
For lifelong New Yorkers and first-time visitors alike, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) sparks a renewed sense of wonder for the city, in what The Wall Street Journal’s Charles Passy hails as “a thoroughly beguiling ode to the Big Apple!”
