After seeing the show off-West End at the Kiln Theatre, Mickey-Jo was delighted to finally catch the new musical 'Two Strangers (Carry a Cake across New York)' at the Criterion Theatre in London's West End recently.

The show, which is a romantic comedy written by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, stars Dujonna Gift (Hamilton) and Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen), with direction by Tim Jackson.

Check out the new review for Mickey-Jo's thoughts on the show, its pair of leading performers and who definitely needs to see it...
