Producers Eva Price, Caroline Kaplan and Loudmouth Media announced  today that Redwood, the new, original musical starring Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel, will open on  Broadway this winter at The Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street), with previews beginning January  24, 2025 ahead of a February 13, 2025 opening.

Beginning tomorrow (July 17) at 10 am ET, Audience Rewards members and fans who have signed up for  early access via Menzel’s website and through the show’s official website at RedwoodMusical.com will be  able to purchase pre-sale tickets (starting at $79.00), through July 19, 2024 at 9:59 am ET. Tickets will go on  sale to the general public via Broadway Direct on July 19, 2024 at 10 am ET.

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.”

The Redwood creative team for Broadway was also announced today, and includes Haley Bennett (Music  Director), Jason Ardizzone-West (Scenic Designer), Toni-Leslie James (Costume Designer), Scott Zielinski  (Lighting Designer), Jonathan Deans (Sound Designer), Hana S. Kim (Media Designer) and Melecio  Estrella/BANDALOOP (Vertical Movement & Vertical Choreography). Casting is by The Telsey Office/Patrick  Goodwin.

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.

Redwood was Originally Developed and Produced by La Jolla Playhouse (Christopher Ashley, Artistic Director  & Debby Buchholz, Managing Director). Additional cast for the Broadway production of Redwood will be  announced at a later date.

On July 19, 2024, Menzel will launch a career-spanning North American tour, which will give fans an  opportunity to hear a few songs from Redwood ahead of the show’s Broadway premiere.

The performance schedule for Redwood previews (January 24 – February 12, 2025) is as follows: Tuesdays – Fridays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 2 pm & 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. Beginning February 14, 2025, the  performance schedule will shift as follows: Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays at 7 pm, Wednesdays at 2 pm & 7  pm, Saturdays at 2 pm & 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm.
