TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) To Open On Broadway November 20, 2025 — Page 2

Patti LuPone FANatic said: "Would someone describe the show in some detail?"

Per Michael Paulson in the NYT:

”The show is about a sweet young English cinema usher who flies to New York to attend the second wedding of his estranged father; the bride asks her sister, an American barista, wry by comparison, to pick him up. The two of them spend two days exploring New York, and getting to know each other, before the ceremony.”

I just adored this in Cambridge especially Tutty who I believe will earn a Tony nom. He was really outstanding. I am so happy to see this again and thank the team for the $88 preview period. I just secured my tickets and can’t wait.

This sounds like a sweet show. I snatched up 2 tix.

You absolutely will. It’s like being hugged by your favorite rom-com and you leave feeling, I don’t know, hope?

This belongs off-bway. Crazier things have happened, but I'll be shocked if it succeeds on Broadway.

Screaming frantically about (the virtually non-existent phenomenon of) foreigners taking jobs from Americans seems more like a right-wing MAGA thing to me.

Well there’s the cast of Mincemeat who’ll be employed for the better part of a year.

But I suppose you have a point, kdogg. As long as no white American men or women are getting more jobs than they have a right to, the rabble will be quiet and we won’t anticipate a riot."

Just wanted to let you know that while you are over here derailing yet another thread with your absolute nonsense, the three billy goats have successfully gotten across the bridge, so you better get back under it, Troll, before anymore wildlife makes it across.

These tickets will be gone in probably a few days, tops.

Thanks to those who shared the info about the $88 seats. I was looking for a Sunday night show for my next trip in November. Got two orchestra seats on the aisle! The total is cheaper than one ticket to RAGTIME.

No, it doesn't work that way. The vast majority of shows do not get to choose their theatre. They work with a landlord (in this case, the Shubert Org), and they are offered a house based on availability and approximate size needs and the whims of Shubert leadership.

There is probably something else already lined up for the Barrymore.

There are plenty of $88 orchestra and mezz seats still available.

However with the promo code EARLYCAKE2 you must complete purchase by 9:59 AM on August 13, 2025.

That's what I thought too when I saw it in Boston. I think it could have done the Oh Mary route and open off-Bway first, build buzz in the NYC theater community, and if it sells out, then move to Broadway. I think Sam and Christiani are great though they don't have the name power yet to sell tickets.

I sent the link and code to friends in NYC and even though tickets are only $88, only one friend bought a ticket. The others are waiting to hear the rush policy.
