Find out in charmingly subversive new musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).

About Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)

Dougal is upbeat, naive and British. He’s flown from the UK to New York for his dad’s second wedding - a dad he’s never really met or known. At the airport, sister of the bride Robin is waiting to pick him up. She’s an NYC native through and through, busy, late for work and not hanging around to see the sights.

Love at first sight? Or even attraction at first sight? Definitely not! But as the wedding approaches and the whole of the Big Apple at their feet, who knows what could happen?

This brand-new British musical premiered at Kiln Theatre over Christmas 2023 and was hailed by critics as a “charming” (Time Out) two-hander that captures the excitement and delights of Hallmark and Richard Curtis films… with a few twists to keep it from being too feather-light!

Two Strangers Musical Creative Team

This winsome show is the creation of composer Jim Barne and lyricist Kit Buchan, who won the 2020 Stage Debut Award for The Season. It is directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson, who recently worked on the Daniel Radcliffe-led Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along.

The original cast included Olivier Award winner Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen) as Dougal and Dujonna Gift (Hamilton; Caroline, or Change) as Robin.
