Here’s a title for you: Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) – an original musical comedy has landed on Broadway after a hugely successful run in London’s West End and is now living up to its title and has carried its cake across New York! The New York Times says “Two Strangers is an effervescent new musical comedy that delivers lavishly on laughter, escape, and fantasy.” The story tells the tale of two twenty somethings – a naïve, upbeat British boy and a no-nonsense cynical New Yorker who get stuck together for a day and form an unexpected bond while navigating the sights of NYC with detours along the way as they deliver a wedding cake for his father’s wedding while highlighting human connection in a tech-driven world. Two Strangers offers comedy, heart and spectacle with a charming score covering patter as well as power ballads. Something for everyone! Good for all ages.
