International superstar Idina Menzel is back on stage: Get Redwood tickets to see the Tony Award winner star in this stirring, enlightening new musical. From acclaimed writer and director Tina Landau, with contemporary songs from newcomer Kate Diaz, whose “score is perfection” (Forbes), Redwood is a fully original work and a refreshing musical about the journeys we take to redefine our lives. Starting on Broadway in January at the Nederlander Theatre, Redwood tickets will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.
Prepare to be transported to a Northern California forest: experience Redwood on Broadway and travel with Jesse (Menzel) on a life-changing adventure. Jesse seems to have it all — a loving family, a successful career — until an unexpected turn of events takes her far, far away from familiarity and comfort. She finds herself at the foot of the great redwoods of Northern California, where a spectacular journey awaits, taking her out of her comfort zone. A chance encounter and leap of faith will forever alter her life path — but is Jesse ready to start anew? Redwood explores with gorgeous, pointed perspective the lengths, and heights, we travel to find strength, resolve, and self-care.
Menzel is a theatre superstar, having originated award-winning roles in Rent and Wicked. More recently, she has dabbled in TV and film, appearing in everything from Glee and Netflix movies to the Frozen franchise. Now, she returns to her roots, and after years away from the stage, she comes back as she had in If/Then to star in another original musical. Landau, known for her playful work on SpongeBob SquarePants, directs this highly anticipated new show.
Of the sold-out West Coast run, Forbes said, “This is the show for the era in which we live… I’ve seen the future of Broadway musicals and its name is Redwood.” Tickets to Redwood will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.
