Written and directed by Tony Award nominee Tina Landau, with music by Kate Diaz, and lyrics by Diaz and Landau, Redwood is conceived by Landau and Menzel, with additional contributions by Menzel. The musical premiered earlier this year in a sold-out run at La Jolla Playhouse.
“I made my Broadway debut at the Nederlander Theatre in Rent almost thirty years ago, so to be returning there with Redwood is very emotional for me as it feels like a real homecoming,” Menzel said. “It has been such a gift to collaborate with Tina and Kate on this show, and I’m so proud to bring it to Broadway.”
Redwood is a transportive new musical about one woman’s journey into the precious and precarious world of the redwoods. 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.
Additional cast for the Broadway production of Redwood will be announced at a later date.
