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.

Best Show of the Year!

"I was going to be in NYC for one night and knew I needed to see this show. It absolutely did not disappoint! The actors are so phenomenally talented, both in singing and acting, and the stage design was impressive! The story is l beautiful and original and was everything I hoped it would be. I laughed, out loud, more times than I thought I would. This is the show of the season and I’m not surprised it was nominated for so many Tony’s, I’m just surprised it didn’t win any! "

So funny

"The lines were hysterical at times. Difficult topics were at times presented in a funny way. Excellent music and voices. If you have hearing difficulties, do not Sit in the first 5 rows. The speakers project (are aimed past that spot) so you might miss some lines which other patrons are clearly enjoying."

A delightfully funny evening

"We went into the show with only a passing knowledge of the plot and quick perusing of the songs online. We came away having had one of the more lighthearted and delightful evenings of musical theater that we've seen in a good while. The show is witty, poking fun at NYC visitors (which there are undoubtedly many on hand) without being insulting. The songs were well crafted and sung beautifully. Highly recommend for a fun night of storytelling."
