Idina Menzel Dangles From the Heavens While Singing
Briefly

Idina Menzel recently shared a video of herself singing from her new musical 'Redwood' while suspended from a large redwood tree in California. The musical, set to open on February 13, features a storyline about a woman named Jesse who journeys west after her son's death and learns about 'Big Tree Religion,' ultimately developing a connection with a redwood tree named Stella. This performance marks Menzel's return to musical theater after her iconic role in 'Wicked,' further highlighting the unique and adventurous nature of her new project.
There's something particularly compelling about how, throughout the video, Menzel's lower body moves in a way that can only really happen while dangling.
The musical follows Jesse, a woman who drives West in the wake of her son's death and ultimately learns about 'Big Tree Religion,' leading her to fall in love with a redwood tree named Stella.
