The story

When Dougal, an ever-optimistic Brit visiting New York for the first time, lands in the city for his estranged father’s wedding, he’s promptly handed over to Robin, the bride’s no-nonsense sister. Tasked with delivering an expensive wedding cake across the city, the two strangers embark on a wild, misadventure-filled journey through crowded subways, unpredictable hotels and impulsive detours, each lugging emotional baggage of their own.

Emotional: sometimes funny, sometimes moving to tears. The same, constantly changing stage set. Tip: about 20–30 minutes after the show, the two lead actors give autographs.
