"I have seen many Broadway shows in my life, this one is very close to the top! Amazing & unique set, beautiful story and fantastic performances by all. We had seats close to the top and it didn't matter at all- the experience was all-consuming. Highly recommend! But, I would not recommend it to a parent who has lost a child; it is heart-wrenching."

AMAZING!!!
"Walking into the theatre, I did not know what to expect with the show. Having LED projection screens everywhere made me question due to lack of physical props and scene changes. From the opening number, I was hooked! The story line, singing, and projections were amazing. I was actually in the Redwood forest! Would go back again to see Redwood just to fully experience the magic."

Amazing show!!! The storyline was great.
"This show has great music, but not like a show that has ensemble. There are a handful of actors. The storyline was raw and real, it was well done."

A tale of finding meaning after adversity

The show was great
"Show was great would recommend to anyone. The subject matter was a little difficult but was handled well.
Anyone dealing with these issues would benefit from seeing this performance.
Loss is always a difficult thing especially when it is a child and so young.
Addiction is also very difficult to deal with but needs to be talked about and discussed in the open.
They did a great job with this musical and the central message. "

Redwood: A Powerful and Authentic Exploration of Grief
"Redwood is a deeply moving musical that explores grief, healing, and human connection with authenticity and heart. Idina Menzel delivers a powerhouse performance, capturing raw emotion and vulnerability that resonate deeply with audiences. The supporting cast is equally impressive, each bringing depth and nuance to their roles, making the story feel genuine and impactful. The set design is both modern and minimalist, seamlessly integrating technology in a way that enhances rather than distracts from the emotional core of the production. The music is hauntingly beautiful, with lyrics that linger long after the final note. The direction ensures a perfect balance between heavy themes and moments of lightness, allowing for a cathartic experience. Thoughtfully crafted staging and lighting further elevate the storytelling, creating an immersive atmosphere. Redwood is not just a musical -- it’s an emotional journey that reminds us of the power of love, loss, and resilience."

Idina Soars
"A musical in one act, Redwood mesmerizes and astounds with beauty as Idina Menzel brings to life a woman broken by her son's senseless death. Idina is perfect. She is angry, guilty, humorous, and empathetic, and her voice is superb in depicting her character's emotional journey. The supporting cast shines. I loved this musical,"

Visually stunning and deeply emotional
"Without spoilers, I can say that this was one of the more raw, intimate looks into a character’s psyche, told in a way that juxtaposes two worlds, two times, and two states of being. The visual production is unlike anything I have seen on Broadway and its encompassing nature plays with scale, place, and movement in a way that perfectly echoes the story beats. I highly recommend it! "

About
Redwood
Redwood is a transportive new musical about one woman’s journey into the precious and precarious world of the redwood forest. Jesse is a successful businesswoman, mother and wife who seems to have it all, but inside, her heart is broken. Finding herself at a turning point, Jesse leaves everyone and everything behind, gets in her car and drives... Thousands of miles later, she hits the majestic forests of Northern California, where a chance meeting and a leap of faith change her life forever. With its deeply personal story, refreshingly contemporary sound, and awe-inspiring design, Redwood explores the lengths –and heights– one travels to find strength, resilience and healing.
