Into the Wood: Recapping Redwood on Broadway

This Might Be Niche

This week we dive into Redwood, the musical that gave us queen Idina Menzel in full belting, boot-stomping, soul-baring glory — and, well… not much else that worked.

Listeners, we recorded this before the show announced its closing, so consider this episode a heartfelt (and mildly chaotic) tribute. There was direction by the visionary Tina Landau. There were trees. There was Idina Menzel singing upside down from those trees. And there were many notes.

We break it all down, with love and some gentle questioning— and then we wrap things up with our favorite segment: Kvetching from Our Seats.

RIP to a Broadway fever dream. Long live our queen.
