Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is London’s delightful new musical rom-com (Time Out).
This fresh, funny, flawless (Observer) original musical has been called the cherry on top of the West End (Theatre Weekly), featuring Dujonna Gift and Sam Tutty in two of the most captivating performances you will see this year (All That Dazzles).
Dougal is a naïve, impossibly upbeat Brit who’s just landed in New York for his dad’s second wedding. The dad he’s never known. Waiting for him at the airport is Robin, the sister of the bride. She’s a native New Yorker, she’s late for work, and she doesn’t have time to stop and see the sights. Instant attraction? Nope. But with an extravagant wedding approaching and the Big Apple at their feet, anything could happen…
An instant classic – part musical, part fairytale, part dream, and wholly unmissable (Spy in the Stalls), Two Strangers is as good a night out in the West End as you can get (WhatsOnStage.com).
