About Redwood

Redwood is a transportive new musical about one woman’s journey into the precious and precarious world of the redwood forest. Jesse 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.

Redwood, Idina Menzel and cast magnificent
"I saw Redwood on April 12th. I loved it. I love Idina Menzel and she was amazing! It is a modern musical using video screens and a simple but very effective set design, especially with regard to the redwood tree! The vocal talent starting with Idina and including all 4 other members of the cast was incredible. The range, the harmony the emotion...took my breath away. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed every minute! BRAVO! Must see!"

AMAZING
"Idina never disappoints. Her co-stars were awesome. Nice to see Michael Parks back on Broadway. It was a totally unbelievable experience to see Kristin Chenoweth on stage signing with Idina and two audience members. LOVE IT."

Who Needs Therapy? Just bring a tissue.
"The cast was so talented and the roles they played suited them perfectly. …and did I mention those voices! Wow! Hard to pick who I liked best; they were all THAT good! The story line starts out a bit chaotic and in pieces, like a puzzle, but it slowly all comes together in the end to form one beautiful picture that everyone can relate to on some level. Makes you want to run out and hug a tree! Loved it! "

Moving and Beautiful
"We absolutely loved the presentation, and of course Idina Menzel was just fabulous. The message was very emotional and about how to deal with loss. We found the music uplifting and healing. We were absolutely amazed by Idina singing upside down swinging from the "tree!" The whole cast was terrific together."

Can't Stop Thinking About Redwood! Brilliant and Resonating Musical!
" I liked and appreciated this musical on so many levels. Idina Menzel puts her heart and soul into this work. The cast is outstanding! Very effective visual sets! Felt like I was in the Redwood's! The songs were outstanding! Quite a moving experience. Redwood entertains and shows us all an important lesson that we get more life when we grieve. The power of the redwood trees shows us the power of resilience through our connections and demonstrates how our storytelling about grief can transform ourselves with new life options. This is all done through a musical ! Wow! The musical is such a special way to communicate about how we can respond to loss. Redwood delivers a mighty tall message !"

To Tree Climbing
"Fantastic show. The set is absolutely amazing. The cast is wonderful. Fantastic voices by all. And of course there’s Idina. What more can you say. She doesn’t even need a microphone with that amazing voice! Wondering how long it to them all to learn to climb. Wanna see it again!"

Bring tissues!
"I have seen many Broadway shows in my life, this one is very close to the top! Amazing & unique set, beautiful story and fantastic performances by all. We had seats close to the top and it didn't matter at all- the experience was all-consuming. Highly recommend! But, I would not recommend it to a parent who has lost a child; it is heart-wrenching."

AMAZING!!!
"Walking into the theatre, I did not know what to expect with the show. Having LED projection screens everywhere made me question due to lack of physical props and scene changes. From the opening number, I was hooked! The story line, singing, and projections were amazing. I was actually in the Redwood forest! Would go back again to see Redwood just to fully experience the magic."

Amazing show!!! The storyline was great.
"This show has great music, but not like a show that has ensemble. There are a handful of actors. The storyline was raw and real, it was well done."

A tale of finding meaning after adversity

Defying Gravity meets Next To Normal
"Watching Idina Menzel in this show definitely did not disappoint. The pain she endured from losing a child was easily felt, both in her singing and acting. Supported by De'Adre, Michael, Zachary and Khaila, this cast was a force of nature not to be missed!!"

The show was great
"Show was great would recommend to anyone. The subject matter was a little difficult but was handled well. Anyone dealing with these issues would benefit from seeing this performance. Loss is always a difficult thing especially when it is a child and so young. Addiction is also very difficult to deal with but needs to be talked about and discussed in the open. They did a great job with this musical and the central message. "
