Redwood is an original new musical overflowing with “grandeur and heart, healing and wonder” (Variety). With extraordinary artistry and awe-inspiring spectacle, one woman’s uplifting and transformative journey comes to life in a staging “among the most beautiful and wondrous theatrical creations” (The New York Times) on Broadway.

Tony Award winner Idina Menzel stars in the story of a woman driven by a heartbreaking loss to the solace of a redwood forest. Through the kindness of strangers and a new perspective, she will find catharsis—and rediscover the strength to carry on. Redwood is an “emotionally charged and heart-healing” (Variety) musical experience.

Join us for Purpose, the riveting and hilarious new drama from Tony Award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Appropriate) and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun).

This electrifying production is an intimate and intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the influential Jasper family. And like all families, there are cracks beneath the surface. When the son returns home with an uninvited friend, the family is forced into a reckoning with itself, its faith and its legacy.
