The Hit New Musical Lands on Broadway: Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) Has Arrived

Ever tried to get a fragile cake (or anything) from Flatbush to the city on the 4 or 5 trains during rush hour? It’s basically an Olympic sport. Now, imagine doing it with a total stranger. Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), the charming-as-hell new musical that’s about just that, and so much more, hit the stage at the Longacre Theatre. This isn’t your average meet-cute. This is a story born from the beautiful chaos of our city: two individuals, unexpectedly thrust together by a mutual mission of dealing with a wedding cake, and the glorious, unpredictable journey that spans across boroughs. When a jolly Brit with golden retriever-like energy, Dougal (played by Sam Tutty) is picked up at JFK by no-nonsense Robin (played by Christiani Pitts) from Flatbush for a family wedding, the hilarity ensues immediately. Robin’s sister is marrying Dougal’s father, and the layers unfold as they navigate NYC. The dynamic duo boasts whip-smart and entertaining dialogue from start to finish. The songs are total earworms, both humorous and emotional (one song, “New York”, has already gone viral on TikTok.) The rotating stage is a playground for the actors, and the energy of Pitts and Tutty is invigorating to watch! The musical was a hit in London and has made its way across the pond to NYC! The city itself is central to each character’s journey throughout the musical, playing both protagonist and antagonist. From Robin’s deep-rooted connection to Brooklyn to Dougal’s wide-eyed wonder of the entire city, NYC is fundamental to both characters throughout the musical. *Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)* is a fast-paced, funny, and genuinely heartfelt reminder that even in a city of millions, connection can be found in the most unexpected places—and sometimes, all it takes is a shared journey. This is an absolute must-see romantic comedy with sharp musical numbers and characters that will stay with you long after the curtain call.
