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.

Can't stop smiling! Captured NYC from both resident and tourist views.

Wonderful story and great performances!

""Dougal" has perfected the role that he has played in so many theaters, and "Robin" has an amazing voice and presence. They both brought a great story to life in an exciting and entertaining way. "

"Beautiful voices, simple, engaging stage, and a hilarious , heartwarming , feel good story. All of the audience is richer upon seeing this production "

Kevin B from Hershey on Apr 20, 2026

You'll want to go back again!

"This show was funny, and the actors have such incredible stage presence they will become your favorites for sure! We even waited for a photo with Sam Tutty at the stage door afterward, and that's not something we ever do after a show. He was as warm and friendly in person as his character is on stage. Christiani Pitts is a perfect compliment to him and just as amazing. Together they are a remarkable, funny and loveable team!"
