The show will open at the Criterion Theatre

New British musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), will transfer to the Criterion Theatre in the West End from 4 April – 14 July, following a record-breaking run at Kiln Theatre.

The two-hander stars Dear Evan Hansen 's Sam Tutty and Dujonna Gift.

Jim Barne and Kim Buchan's heartfelt musical two-hander has all the ingredients to be an irresistibly sweet treat for the festive season

All in all, Two Strangers is a pleasant night out for the rom-com lovers: it romanticises The City That Never Sleeps and leaves the audience with a delightful ending that solves very little of the plot. It won’t change the world of musical theatre, but it’s nice and fuzzy. Like a good pair of comfy Christmas socks.
