More information about Redwood
It’s no secret that Idina Menzel is one of Broadway’s most sought-after performers. World famous for providing the voice of Elsa in Frozen and originating the role of Elphaba in Wicked, winning her Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, Menzel is a fierce but vulnerable performer, channeling great emotion and yearning in her vocals without sacrificing strength.
Menzel made a name for herself originating the role of Maureen in Rent. That, and her turn in Wicked, garnered her greater fame. Hopping back and forth between TV (Glee) and film (Enchanted), she was also known to return to the stage, as she did in If/Then. Now, she’s back on Broadway after years away taking part in another original musical.
In Redwood, she once again portrays a forceful but searching character. A musical refreshing in its originality, wit, and heart, Redwood promises to be an unforgettable journey complete with an awe-inspiring design and first-class musical theatre talent.
What to watch for
- Director Tina Landau, a Tony nominee for SpongeBob SquarePants, is known for creating immersive worlds in her musicals, and Redwood will be no different with its celebrated, woodsy design.
- Tina Landau and Idina Menzel scouted composer and co-lyricists Kate Diaz online when searching for an artist outside of the musical theatre genre. Per Diaz’s website, Menzel describes Kate’s score as “epic and cinematic as well as intimate well-crafted songwriting.”
- The La Jolla Playhouse production of Redwood sold out its run and was met with critical acclaim; Forbes wrote that the “score is perfection.”
- The set for this production is quite ravishing — designer Jason Ardizzone-West is an acclaimed artist with a Drama Desk nomination and an Emmy Award for Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special for Jesus Christ Superstar Live.
