The Bryn Mawr Club of New York City is pleased to present its first theater outing of 2025! We have secured tickets to the hottest new show on Broadway, Redwood, starring Idina Menzel, which brings to life one woman’s healing journey among the redwoods after the unbearable loss of her son. The culmination of fifteen years of inspiration and dogged determination, Redwood is a collaboration between Menzel and director Tina Landau, with songs by Kate Diaz. Staged at the Nederlander, the theater where Menzel made her Broadway debut in Rent twenty-nine years ago, the musical is a moving tribute to renewal and community. Said Menzel in The New York Times, “The redwoods signify everything I think we strive for as human beings. Their roots clasp hands with each other and sustain each other and hydrate and fuel each other and hold each other up.”
Attendees are welcome to come along for dinner beforehand at the Penn Club, where we will be joined for a drink by one of the producers (reservation with organizer required).
