"I landed Oct. 5, and we started work Oct. 6, so it was like jump straight in. And when it's your day off, it's like, 'OK, I just need to shop and clean and relax.' Nearly six months in, the actor is slowly familiarizing himself with New York neighborhood by neighborhood, including the West Village, which he says he recently explored with his girlfriend."
"Two Strangers is one of the few musicals to open this season that isn't based on existing material. For Tutty, the show's appeal lies in how normal Dougal and Robin are. There's nothing profoundly world-changing about them. That influences your choices onstage. You can really just be still and scratch your head and get something out your eye or something like that."
Sam Tutty, a 27-year-old actor from West Sussex, plays Dougal Todd in the Broadway musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), which opened in November after a West End run. Unlike his character who arrives in New York with wide-eyed wonder, Tutty had little time for sightseeing, beginning work the day after arriving on October 5. Nearly six months into his Broadway debut, he has gradually explored New York neighborhoods including the West Village and Midtown spots like the Civilian Hotel and Hurley's. The musical, one of few original works opening this season, appeals to Tutty because the characters are ordinary people without world-changing significance, allowing for naturalistic performances with subtle, authentic moments.
