About this episode
Today’s guests are Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty, the stars of the Broadway musical “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).” The show is a joyful, funny, and heartwarming story about chance encounters, unlikely connections, and one unforgettable day in New York City.Christiani and Sam join host Jessie Sheehan to talk about their journeys to Broadway, what it’s like to carry an entire show as a two-person cast, and why “Two Strangers” has been described as a love letter to NYC. They also dive into the role cake plays in the show (yes, there is a real cake), the production’s partnership with Magnolia Bakery, and their personal dessert favorites—from red velvet cake to banana pudding to caterpillar cakes.
