Review: TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK), Kiln Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 17, 2023

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.
