After garnering an array of accolades for his role in Dear Evan Hansen, Sam Tutty is preparing to make his stage return in Kiln Theatre's Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York). Sam was named one of the brightest newcomers to the stage in 2019 and fans have been eagerly anticipating what the young star will do next. In a similar way, theatregoers have been eager for a new musical from Kiln Theatre following the success of Blues in the Night in 2019. Jim Barne and Kit Buchan have become one of the industry's most dynamic writing duos and we hear Sam share his excitement at getting to work on this world premiere. With the show continuing to develop, it was great getting to sit down with Sam to discuss the new show and to look back over some early career highlights too.

In this brand new interview, Sam Tutty opens up about his creative process, now approaching a brand new musical, one year after the closing of Dear Evan Hansen. He reminds us of the importance of separating oneself from their character and shares his thanks to his family and friends for allowing him to switch off from playing heavy parts. As he now approaches the role of Dougal, we hear him talk about the importance of playing characters who are flawed and reflective of the human experience. He continues to be ambitious too - sharing his hope to continue diversifying in his career choices with more screen work as well as to continue starring in more musicals. It's a delightful conversation where we hear how much Sam has matured since his early days as a fresh graduate and we look forward to seeing whatever he does next.

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) runs at Kiln Theatre from 9 November - 23 December).
