The FUNNIEST Show I've Ever Seen

Truly underrated show
"I first heard the opening number "New York" in YouTube last year, and I couldn't get the damn tune out of my head. Luckily, I had the chance to watch it last week. Even though I was darn disappointed that Sam Tutty was not playing Dougal - I was nevertheless satisfied with the performance. I hope more people will watch this show. I feel that this is an underrated show - I didn't see much advertisement for this show in Times Square. It is a must watch for first timers in New York (like me). Watch this guys - you will enjoy it for sure."

"A beautifully executed two-person production. I was blown away by the incredible talent of both actors—their chemistry was undeniable, and their vocal performances were exceptional. Every detail, from the thoughtfully crafted script to the simplicity and versatility of the set design, felt intentional and added depth to the story. It was entertaining, genuinely funny, and full of substance. Five stars without hesitation!"

Delightful, Sweet, & Hilarious
"I loved every second of this show. From the opening sounds to the great details. The young cast were phenomenal. The best time I’ve had on Broadway in a long time. The ticket prices were very reasonable, we told someone in the subway how great the show was, and she is fitting it in. She was worried about the quality due to such reasonable ticket prices. Cudos to everyone involved."

A funny heartfelt musical
"The two stars absolutely carried the show. I felt the show was a fresh original musical. The show made me laugh, think of family & friends and just feel good all over. I do not recommend the show for young children because of the language and sexual content. "

About Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)

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.
