A 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!”

“An effervescent new musical comedy! Delivers lavishly on laughter, escape, and fantasy.” — The New York Times
