Two Strangers (Carry a Cake across New York) soundtrack: Every song from West End show EP
Try getting New York out of your head!
Ahead of its transfer to the West End’s Criterion Theatre, the new musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) has released a taster of what’s to come.
This week, the cast and crew launched a short EP featuring eight songs from the upcoming musical.
The tracks are performed entirely by the show’s only two cast members: Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen, Hollyoaks) and Dujonna Gift (Hamilton), who will be beginning their West End run from 4th April.
The story of Two Strangers (Carry a Cake across New York) is pretty self-explanatory. It follows Dougal, a naïve nerdy Brit, who flies to New York to be a part of his estranged Dad’s wedding. Picking him up at the airport is Robin, a native New Yorker and the sister of the bride, and together they, well… read the title.
In a chat with RadioTimes.com, the two stars said that the show is about “tiny, honest storytelling”.

“It’s brave enough to be small,” said Tutty, “It’s just two people who aren’t trying to change the world, aren’t trying to fight for something they believe in. It’s just their own internal struggles and I think that’s the one thing we all have in common.”
The musical is moving to the West End after a sold-out 10-week run at the Kiln Theatre and has been penned by writers Jim Barne and Kit Buchan.
