Idina Menzel Returns to Broadway in the Soul-Stirring Redwood

Redwood introduces us to Jesse, a successful businesswoman and mother whose world shatters after the tragic loss of her son, Spencer, to a fentanyl overdose. Struggling with overwhelming grief and guilt, Jesse embarks on a spontaneous cross-country drive, seeking solace and clarity. Her journey leads her to the majestic redwood forests of Northern California, where she encounters arborists Finn and Becca. Through these interactions and her deepening bond with the ancient trees, Jesse confronts her pain, leading to transformative healing. ​

One of the standout aspects of Redwood is its breathtaking set design. Jason Ardizzone-West, the scenic designer, has masterfully recreated the towering redwood forests on stage, immersing audiences in Jesse’s journey. The use of realistic projections and innovative lighting by Scott Zielinski enhances the immersive experience, making the forest feel alive within the theater.

Redwood offers theatergoers an introspective look into the complexities of grief and the healing power of nature. With Idina Menzel at the helm, delivering a performance filled with raw emotion and vocal prowess, this musical is a noteworthy addition to the Broadway landscape. Whether you’re drawn by the compelling narrative, the stellar cast, or the visual spectacle, Redwood promises an experience that resonates on multiple levels.​
