A naïve and impossibly upbeat Brit, Dougal, has just landed in New York for his dad’s second wedding—the dad he’s never known. Robin, the sister of the bride, is at the airport to pick him up—and she’s late for work. Hungry for an adventure in the city he’s only seen in movies, Dougal hopes native New Yorker Robin will be his guide. Taking inspiration from traditional rom-coms, this “fresh, funny, ironic, and inventive” (The Observer) new musical balances life’s sweetness and struggle as Dougal and Robin discover the meaningful impact on each of their lives a stranger can make.

Review: American Repertory Theater's TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) is Delicious Treat
June 02, 2025 The term “rom com” has often been used to describe the musical “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).” And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, unless it means a steady diet of only Hallmark and Lifetime movies, it’s also a bit like comparing supermarket cake with one fresh from a bakery.
