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.
"Entertaining from start to finish. You will laugh, you may cry. One of the best musicals I’ve seen. "

A very adult dramatic musical
"The play deals with the trauma of losing someone very close to you. Not recommended for children. The cast performances are exceptional. The music sets the right tone throughout, while the book's narrative is weak in some parts. "

Innovative and Creative
"Redwood harnesses a creative approach to storytelling. By creating a new show it takes a risk that the audience has not seen before and yet strings it together by shared human experiences. Experiencing loss and grief, realizing our own human vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and being able to find renewed life in unexpected ways. There is no one in the audience that does not have their own story that they can relate in some way. "

Teary but so beautiful
"Definitely for fans of Dear Evan Hanson or Idina Menzel. The story while sad is told beautifully. The talented cast could have been singing anything and it would be worth the price of the ticket. I like the novelty of the sets which was the perfect complement to the beauty of the songs. I would see it again with tissues ready in hand. "

Simple, heartfelt and outstanding musical
"I really liked that it was a very intimate musical. Idina is quite outstanding and you don’t really need much of a show because her voice is incredible.
Perhaps the storyline could be a bit better, but I liked overall the songs and the message. "

Incredible Staging
"Bought tickets because Idena Menzel. While I enjoyed the show it was a little dark at times. The cast was outstanding and the tree climbing was pretty great. What I enjoyed the most was the staging. How they depicted the redwoods was GREAT. Being from Northern California where the redwoods are there depiction was spot on."
