Sad news! Redwood will end its Broadway run on Sunday, May 18, 2025 after playing 127 performances, including 17 preview performances. Tickets through the end of the run are on sale at the Nederlander box office and on BroadwayDirect.
Idina had this to say on Instagram:
Creating @RedwoodMusical with @TinaLandau and @KateDiazMusic has been my proudest professional accomplishment. It is an all-female-led team, who are fearless risk-takers and gorgeous human beings. I will be eternally grateful to our stunning cast whom I love so friggin’ much. I’ll be singing Kate’s music for years and years to come. You are all my family. Making music and telling this beautiful story with you has been the highlight of my career. In fact, being back in NYC with the entire Broadway community at the Nederlander, of all places, is my “little Idina’s” dream come true over and over again. Thank you to our entire crew.
We’ve made something exquisite that the Redwoods would be so proud of. Our heartwood is love abounding, sad yet stronger than ever. Our roots will connect us for miles and miles and we will hold each other up beyond the sadness of a show closing to the complicated scary world we are living in. And lastly. Let’s remember the Redwood has lived through fires, through pain, and through the most challenging times in history… and is still standing tall. That’s what I will do. So join us in the canopy one last time before May 18th. Because, like the roots, we need connection.
In keeping with one of the show’s messages of tikkun olam (repairing the world), Redwood partnered with several organizations to help raise awareness and funds to support the themes depicted in the show. 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. In addition, through a collaboration with Redwood Empire Whiskey, more than 400 trees were planted in the month of April and separately, more than 50 redwood trees were planted at the Gateway to Big Basin Redwoods State Park in honor of the show’s cast and crew.
If you can’t make it to NYC before May 18, the Original Broadway Cast Recording will be released digitally on May 13th, the CD will be released on June 13 and the vinyl will arrive on July 25! Pre-order all versions here.
If you have the chance to see the show, don’t miss out. Idina is INCREDIBLE. I promise you’ve never seen her like this and the show is so beautiful and touching. It’s such a cathartic theater experience and something I personally really needed. I’m so proud of her for starting with a seedling of an idea and making it all the way to the Nederlander Theatre for audiences around the world to experience it.
