Watch Now: Idina Menzel on Her Return to Broadway in Redwood

Beginning on January 24, Idina Menzel is back on the Broadway stage for the first time in 10 years. She leads the Broadway premiere of Redwood, the new musical co-conceived by Menzel and director Tina Landau. Watch Menzel’s interview with Broadway Direct about bringing this original musical to life at the Nederlander Theatre.

Redwood is a transportive new musical about one woman’s journey into the precious and precarious world of the redwood forest. Jesse (Menzel) is a successful businesswoman, mother and wife who seems to have it all, but inside, her heart is broken. Finding herself at a turning point, Jesse leaves everyone and everything behind, gets in her car and drives… Thousands of miles later, she hits the majestic forests of Northern California, where a chance meeting and a leap of faith change her life forever. With its deeply personal story, refreshingly contemporary sound, and awe-inspiring design, Redwood explores the lengths –and heights– one travels to find strength, resilience and healing.
