Utterly charming!
"This sweet little show is bright with talented co-stars, ingenious set design and a story made alive by terrific acting. A story where you are rooting for each of the characters to find a way to “be happy”!"

My first Broadway show
"This was my first experience seeing a show on Broadway and I was not disappointed. The actors were great, loved the songs, and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the venue (I assumed they were all huge). I would definitely recommend this show."

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."

Mixed Feelings
"I really wanted to like this show. I had so looked forward to it. I liked Christiani Pitts very much. She is a great actress and has a beautiful voice. Some of the “ballads” were beautiful. The first act there was just not enough story, movement for me; just kind of entertaining. Did get better the second act, much more development of story. There were 2 things that really bothered me. Let me say I am hearing impaired, which possibly added to my problems with the show. However, I go to shows all the time and don’t experience the problems I had with Two Strangers. First, Sam Tutty talked so fast I had trouble understanding him. I did not have that problem with Christiani at all. Second the orchestra was far too loud made it difficult to hear the vocals. I would like to add that I had excellent seats, Row 4, right in the center and I had a hearing device. "

A nice night out but the show did not leave a memorable impact
"The understudies in the leading role did a great job. The story was limited and I was left questioning the calibre of this show in terms of being a long term classic. In short, a nice night out but not for me and I was left a little disappointed overall. "

I wish
"I really wanted to like this production. I went into it no real information outside of the synopsis and commercials I had seen. Unfortunately, the plot line was dull. The staging was boring, and the music was unremarkable. "

Cliche
"Fine talent. Impressive that they held the show for two hours, but the writing was boring and unoriginal. Some songs felt like AI slop. The set felt overly and unintelligently simplified. It wasn't worth the ticket."

Not a Broadway worthy show
"While the performers had nice singing voices, the show was lackluster. It reminded me of a summer camp musical. Not worth the price of a Broadway ticket. "

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.
