Further casting has been revealed for the new musical Redwood, set to begin performances at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre January 24, 2025, ahead of a February 13 opening night. As previously announced, the Tina Landau-Kate Diaz musical will be led by Idina Menzel, reprising her performance from the work's world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse earlier this year.

Menzel isn't the only one who will be back from that earlier staging. Also reprising their performances will be De'Adre Aziza as Mel, Michael Park as Finn, and Zachary Noah Piser as Spencer. Newly joining the company is Khaila Wilcoxon as Becca. Standbys Daniel Brackett, Bradley Dean, Veronica Otim, and Jessica Phillips will round out the company. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Patrick Goodwin.

Menzel will star as Jesse, a woman who finds herself at a crossroads in a Northern California redwood forest after a life-altering event. Landau, who's directing the Broadway bow, conceived the work with Menzel (who provides additional contributions), and has written the book. The score will feature music by Kate Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau.

The production will also feature scenic design by Jason Ardizzone-West, video design by Hana S. Kim, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Scott Zielinski, sound design by Jonathan Deans, vertical movement and choreography by Melecio Estrella of Bandaloop, and orchestrations and arrangements by Diaz, all reprising their work from the La Jolla world premiere. New for the Broadway bow is music supervisor Tom Kitt and music director Julie McBride.
