Bravo for Broadway!
"The show was amazing and the actors are so talented. I would not recommend for children because of the language and the adult theme of the storyline. I was really impressed with how two actors could keep an audience entertained for over two hours. The acting and singing was outstanding. I laughed and cheered! My only complaint would be that there were times when it was difficult to hear the dialogue especially if they were not facing the audience. "

Comedy with Layers: Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York
"What an absolute delight! This show was laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish, with sharp writing and perfectly timed humor that kept the audience engaged throughout. The chemistry between the leads was electric—Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts were nothing short of fantastic. Tutty brought a charming awkwardness that made his character instantly lovable, while Pitts delivered a vibrant, heartfelt performance that balanced comedy with genuine emotion. The pacing was spot-on, and the quirky premise unfolded in a way that felt fresh and unpredictable. It’s rare to find a production that combines humor, heart, and originality so seamlessly, but this one nails it. If you’re looking for a feel-good, hilarious night at the theater, Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York is a must-see!"

A Two-Person Phenomenon!
""Two Strangers" is a funny feel-good show that definitely pulls on your heart-strings! It does contain adult themes, the set design is amazing and creative, but minimal. I would leave the children at home for this one. The songs are powerful and moving, and many have quickly become earworms around our house! This show is fantastic and surprising, even though there are only 2 actors. I would definitely recommend it to a friend."

Vert talented actors
"The acting, singing, and dancing were great. I did have some trouble hearing the lyrics especially when they were rapping. The sound in my audio headset was a bit garbled. Some very funny scenes and great for native New Yorkers."

Amazing cast, very fun show
"With only two cast members, the story is very personal. I loved the dynamic and changing relationship between the two characters. The songs are solid and catchy despite a lackluster instrumentation. The comedy is excellent and rarely, if ever, falls flat. I'd definitely recommend, it's very fun, even if it's not my favorite musical ever. "

Phenomenal cast, ok writing
"Would’ve done better off broadway in a more intimate theatre for just a cast of two people, The leading man and lady were phenomenal. Incredible voices and comedic timing. Show itself felt rushed but too long at the same time. Cute and funny, but don’t need to see again."
