Tony winner Idina Menzel has extended her run in Broadway's Redwood at the Nederlander Theatre, which will now continue with the Wicked star through August 17. The show opened February 13, with Tina Landau at the helm. Read the reviews here.
Menzel stars as Jesse, a woman who finds herself at a crossroads in a Northern California redwood forest after a life-altering event. Landau, who co-conceived the work with Menzel (who provides additional contributions), has written the book. The score features music by Kate Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau.
The cast also includes De'Adre Aziza as Mel, Michael Park as Finn, Zachary Noah Piser as Spencer, and Khaila Wilcoxon as Becca. Standbys Daniel Brackett, John Hemphill, Veronica Otim, and Jessica Phillips round out the company. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Patrick Goodwin.
