Tina Landau directs the new musical she conceived with Menzel.

Newly released video is offering a better look at Broadway's Redwood, starring Idina Menzel. Take a look above.

The Wicked Tony winner recently extended her run in the new musical, which is now set to perform through August 17 at the Nederlander Theatre, the former home of Rent, which marked Menzel's Broadway debut.

The Tina Landau-Kate Diaz musical features Menzel reprising her performance from the work's world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse last year.

And, Menzel isn't the only one back from that earlier staging. Also reprising their performances are De'Adre Aziza as Mel, Michael Park as Finn, and Zachary Noah Piser as Spencer, newly joined by 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.

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's directing the Broadway bow, conceived the work with Menzel (who provides additional contributions), and has written the book. The score features music by Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau.

New for the Broadway bow is music supervisor Tom Kitt and music director Julie McBride.

Redwood is produced on Broadway by Eva Price, Caroline Kaplan, and Loudmouth Media.
