The new Broadway musical visited Good Morning America January 28 to perform a special medley.

Broadway's spring season is heating up, and so is the promotional circuit. Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) paid a visit to Good Morning America January 28, where they performed a special medley of "New York" and "This is the Place." Check out the performance above!

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 Christiani Pitts (King Kong) and Sam 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 (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.

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.

A London cast album is available on all major streaming platforms.

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