“Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)” is a story about a Brit and a New Yorker. The musical began in the U.K. before transferring to the United States, first for an out-of-town run in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and then to Broadway. It follows, then, that its producing team is also a mix of pros from the U.K. and the U.S.
Here, producers Tim Johanson, Gareth Lake of Glass Half Full Productions and Kevin McCollum share why they invested in the original musical and how they’re attracting audiences to Broadway’s Longacre Theatre.
“Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)” is nominated for eight Tony Awards.
The 2026 Tony Awards will take place on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall. P!NK will host the ceremony, which will be broadcast live on CBS and livestreamed on Paramount+ Premium (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT). CBS and Pluto TV will present the Tony Awards: Act One.
