Tony Award® Winner Idina Menzel Returns to Broadway In Redwood A New Musical
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 music from composer Kate Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau, Redwood’s “score is perfection” (Forbes) and “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.
