The Broadway cast album of Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is out now and we at Playbill have an exclusive music video. Above, see show star Sam Tutty perform "About to Go In," a pivotal ballad from Act II of the musical.

The new musical officially opened on Broadway November 20, 2025, at the Longacre Theatre, after beginning performances November 1. Starring Christiani 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 Phoenix Best (Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple), Vincent 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 and Olivier winner Tutty after both starred in the North American premiere A.R.T. production of the musical. Tutty also originated the role of Dougal in London.

The musical previously played the Off-West End Kiln Theatre and the West End’s Criterion Theatre, as well as Harvard University's American Repertory Theater in May 2025. The Broadway cast album is the second of the material to be recorded and released. A London cast album is already available on all major streaming platforms.

In addition to direction and choreography by Jackson, the Broadway production features 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.

The musical is produced on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, Tim Johanson, Glass Half Full Productions, and Jamie Wilson Productions.
