I loved the new musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) from the moment that I saw a YouTube video of one of their songs.
It was this one.
Two Strangers is an old school rom com, that tugs at all the tender places in our Nora Ephron built psyches. The songs are insanely catchy and delightful. My son is equally obsessed with them even though he hasn’t seen the show yet.
Nick and I went to see it right when it opened on Broadway and we left that theatre so damn happy.


And now it has been nominated for eight Tony Awards. 8!!!! Best Musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Orchestrations and Best Scenic Design of a Musical.
So well deserved!
And the joy from the cast and crew this week has been inspiring and delight-making in our dumpster fire of a news cycle.
They were also just on the Today Show.
If you’re looking for a new show to see, this is the one. And when it wins those Tonys in June tickets will be impossible to get.
I’m gonna leave you with one more number.



I love this! I've been wanting to go and you just reminded me to get tickets. Also love the billboard for "Everyone is Lying to You" - brilliant!
