Oh, to be loved to the point of invention.

The company of the tuneful new musical Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) came together in the spirit of Valentine's Day to make each other homemade cards, with a twist: they had a (surprisingly stressful) time limit to express their love.

Don your rose colored glasses and check out the charming video below, featuring stars Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty, as well as Phoenix Best and Vincent Michael. Oh, and if you need some Valentine's Day cards, Playbill has you covered. Playbill has created some Broadway-themed cards for you to give to your friends, partners, and anyone special in your life. Flip through them below.

Broadway Valentine's Day Cards

Written by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, the romantic comedy officially opened on Broadway November 20, 2025 at the Longacre Theatre, after beginning performances November 1. Starring Pitts (King Kong) and Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen), the musical 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.

The production's standbys include Best (Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple), Michael (Safety Not Guaranteed, Mystic Pizza), Austin Colburn (Fixing Frankie) and Jana Larell Glover (Six: The Musical).

Directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson (who also oversaw the show in London), the Broadway run stars Pitts (Broadway's King Kong) and Olivier winner Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen), after both starred in the North American premiere A.R.T. production of the musical. Tutty also originated the role of Dougal in London.
