Redwood, the new Broadway musical, starring Tony Award winner Idina Menzel, about a woman discovering a life among the trees, opened at the Nederlander Theatre on February 13.
“It’s like art imitating life,” Menzel told Broadway.com on the opening-night red carpet. “The whole sort of the ethos of the redwoods is … about their root system and how they intertwine and hold each other up. I think that’s a beautiful metaphor for the theater.”
Check out the video for more opening-night thoughts from Menzel, her costars De’Adre Aziza, Michael Park, Khaila Wilcoxon and Zachary Noah Piser, composer Kate Diaz and writer-director-lyricist Tina Landau.
