All you need is love!

The company of the tuneful new musical Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) are closing out their February month of love celebration with the internet's favorite relationship hack: 36 Questions to Fall in Love!

Stars Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty, as well as understudies Phoenix Best and Vincent Michael, came together to ask each other one of the questions off of the famed list. Check out the lovefest above.

Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) on Broadway

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.
