Have you ever been lucky enough to visit somewhere, or meet someone, and feel almost immediately that your life is about to change? That is what the character Dougal feels about New York and his unofficial tour guide, Robyn, in the Broadway musical Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York.
First developed in England, the musical tells the story of Dougal’s 48-hour visit to New York on a mission to connect with members of his family at an upcoming wedding. But, as you can tell by the title of the show, he and Robyn have a job to do before the big day, and they navigate through the third character of the play, New York City itself.
In this episode, host Alex Birsh brings on a theater friend who suggests the show when someone asks them, What should I see on Broadway?
And then he brings on his special guests: Sam Tutty, who plays Dougal, Christiani Pitts, who plays Robyn, and director and Choreographer Tim Jackson, and they talk about what it’s like to bring this very creative and special show to Broadway audiences.
