'Redwood' review: Idina Menzel goes out on a limb in hollow new Broadway musical
NEW YORK – There's a beautiful show somewhere in "Redwood," a sort of "Eat, Belay, Love" about a grief-stricken mother (Idina Menzel) who finds solace in climbing trees. But despite Menzel's very best efforts, the musical's lofty ambitions never quite take root. "Redwood," which opened Feb. 13 at the Nederlander Theatre, is a long-gestating passion project for Menzel, who last graced Broadway a decade ago in another original work, "If/Then." The show is loosely inspired by a woman named Julia Butterfly Hill, who in the 1990s, spent more than two years living in a 1,000-year-old tree to save it from being chopped down.
