NEW YORK—Not only is “Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)” an awkward title for a Broadway musical, technically, it’s also incorrect. The cake is only carried between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Starting with a fish-out-of-water scenario, this two-character vehicle spoofs and pays homage to the rom-com genre. It also points out that people may be sustained by dreams, but in the end it’s what’s right in front of them that matters.
