\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 STARRING OLIVIER AWARD-WINNER SAM TUTTY AND DUJONNA GIFT, TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FOR THIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MODERN ROM-COM.<\/strong>\u200b<\/p>\n

Tim Johanson Productions, Glass Half Full Productions and Jamie Wilson Productions are thrilled to announce that new British musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)<\/em> will extend by a further seven weeks at the Criterion Theatre. Now booking until 31 August (instead of 14 July as previously announced), this fresh and funny take on the rom-com transferred to the Criterion Theatre on 4 April following a sold-out, extended run at Kiln Theatre. Tickets are on-sale now at twostrangersthemusical.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u200bDirected by Tim Jackson, written by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan and designed by Soutra Gilmour, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)<\/em> marks Barne and Buchan\u2019s West End debuts. Barne and Buchan won The Stage Debut Award and the Stiles & Drewe prize for new musical theatre for an earlier version of the musical titled The Season, co-produced by Royal & Derngate, Northampton and the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich.<\/p>\n

\u200bWith the music having clocked up millions of listens on streaming platforms, an 8 track EP is now available. Tracks include: \u2018New York\u2019, \u2018Dad\u2019, \u2018What\u2019ll It Be\u2019, \u2018This Is The Place\u2019, \u2018Be Happy\u2019, \u2018About To Go In\u2019, \u2018This Year\u2019 and \u2018If I Believed\u2019. To mark the launch, Sam Tutty and Dujonna Gift performed a series of the songs at Abbey Road Studios to an invited audience, hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJ Vicky Hawkesworth.<\/p>\n

\u200bSam Tutty plays Dougal. His theatre work includes the role of Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen (No\u00ebl Coward Theatre) for which he won the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical and Once on this Island (British Theatre Academy\/Southwark Playhouse). For film, his work includes Four Minute Warning and Romeo & Juliet, and for television, Hollyoaks.<\/p>\n

\u200bDujonna Gift plays Robin. Her theatre work includes the multi-Olivier Award-winning, smash hit musical Hamilton (Victoria Palace Theatre), Caroline or Change (Playhouse Theatre) and Motown: The Musical (Shaftesbury Theatre). Her film work includes the upcoming Disney\u2019s Snow White<\/em> opposite Rachel Zegler.<\/p>\n

\u200bThe full creative team includes Director and Choreographer Tim Jackson; Designer Soutra Gilmour; Lighting Designer Jack Knowles; Sound Designer Tony Gayle; Orchestration by Lux Pyramid; Casting Director Julia Horan CDG and Associate Director Claira Vaughan.<\/p>\n

\u200bDougal is a naive, impossibly upbeat Brit, flying to New York for his Dad\u2019s second wedding. The Dad he\u2019s never known. <\/em>Waiting for him at the airport is Robin, the sister of the bride. She\u2019s a native New Yorker, she\u2019s late for work, and she doesn\u2019t have time to stop and see the sights. <\/em>\u200bInstant attraction? Definitely not. <\/em>But with an extravagant wedding approaching and the city at their feet – anything could happen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
