See 3 Songs From Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) Before It Hits Broadway
The romantic comedy, already a London hit, stars Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty for the Broadway premiere.
The London hit musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is heading to Broadway, and Playbill has an early look at three tracks from the romantic musical comedy. The show will play Broadway’s Longacre Theatre beginning November 1 prior to an official opening November 20.
Written by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) follows a naïve and impossibly upbeat Brit, Dougal, who has just landed in New York for his estranged father’s second wedding. When Robin, the sister of the bride, picks him up from the airport, they embark on an serendipitous adventure through New York City. Check out video of the early performances above!
Directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson (who also oversaw the show in London), the Broadway run will star Christiani Pitts (Broadway’s King Kong) and Olivier winner Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen). Both starred in the North American premiere A.R.T. production of the musical, and Tutty also originated the role of Dougal in London. For Broadway, they will be joined by standbys Phoenix Best (Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple) and Vincent Michael (Safety Not Guaranteed, Mystic Pizza).
