About the Show

Tony Award®-winning superstar Idina Menzel makes her long-awaited return to Broadway this January. Direct from a sold-out engagement at San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse, Redwood is a “visually stunning and immersive” (San Diego Magazine) original musical. From acclaimed writer and director Tina Landau, with contemporary songs from Kate Diaz, whose “score is perfection” (Forbes), Redwood “feels like the American musical of tomorrow” (San Diego Union-Tribune).

Jesse (Menzel) seems to have it all — a successful career and devoted family — until a life-altering event drives her far from everyone and everything she knows. When she finds herself at the foot of the redwoods in Northern California, a chance encounter and a leap of faith will change her life forever. Redwood explores the lengths — and heights — one travels to find strength, resilience and healing.

This is the show for the era in which we live… I’ve seen the future of Broadway musicals and its name is REDWOOD.
