"The London hit musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is heading to Broadway, and a complete cast has been assembled. The romantic musical comedy 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."
"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) as previously announced. 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 understudies Phoenix Best ( Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple) and Vincent Michael ( Safety Not Guaranteed, Mystic Pizza)."
"In addition to direction and choreography by Jackson, the Broadway production will feature scenic and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Jack Knowles, sound design by Tony Gayle, music supervision by Nick Finlow, and orchestrations by Lux Pyramid. Casting is by C12 Casting's Stephen Kopel. A London cast album is available on all major streaming platforms. The musical is being produced on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, Tim Johanson, Glass Half Full Productions, and Jamie Wilson Productions."
