‘Redwood’ Starring Idina Menzel Announces Broadway Closing After Tony Nominations Shut Out
Redwood, the Broadway musical starring Idina Menzel, will close on Sunday, May 18, producers announced after Tony Award shut out.
The musical, in which Menzel plays a grief-stricken woman who embarks on a cross-country journet to find solace in a West Coast redwood forest, has been struggling at the box office after opening on February 13 to middling reviews. In addition to Menzel, the primary cast of Redwood includes De’Adre Aziza, Michael Park, Zachary Noah Piser and Khaila Wilcoxon. Through these partnerships, the show helped raise more than $2,000,000 for these social impact organizations, including $1,500,000 for Save the Redwoods League, $250,000 for A BroaderWay, $180,000 for Broadway Cares and $40,000 for Julia Butterfly Hill’s nonprofit Circle of Life.
