About the Show

New York Times Critics’ Pick, TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) “delivers lavishly on laughter, escape, and fantasy.”

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. 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. The Boston Globe proclaims, it’s “IRRESISTIBLE! Clever, funny, and delightfully surprising!”

Recommended for ages 12 and up. *Please note that children under 4 are not permitted in the theater, and all audience members must have a ticket.

About the Theatre

Longacre Theatre

220 W 48th St
New York, NY 10036

The Longacre, named for Longacre Square (now Times Square), was built by producer/manager H.H. Frazee (also known as the owner of the Boston Red Sox who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees). After Frazee fell into financial difficulties, the theatre changed hands many times before being sold to Astor Theatre Incorporated, a Shubert subsidiary, in 1919. WOR leased it from 1943-1953 as a radio and television playhouse.
