Redwood is the New York Times Critic’s Pick where the power of nature meets the force of Broadway. Following a heart-breaking loss, one woman’s journey into a redwood forest leads her to find catharsis in ways she never imagined, where a chance encounter and a leap of faith will change her life forever. Her story comes to life in a staging “among the most beautiful and wondrous theatrical creations” (The New York Times) ever seen on Broadway. Redwood explores the lengths — and heights — one travels to find strength, resilience and healing.
