Kristin Chenoweth Surprises Audiences at Idina Menzel’s Performance
Kristin Chenoweth surprised fans during the curtain call at a recent performance of Redwood, where she joined former Wicked co-star Idina Menzel for a performance of “For Good.” This electrifying moment offered an unforgettable experience for the cheering audience, all while supporting a good cause: Broadway Cares.
Currently, Menzel is starring in Redwood on Broadway, while Chenoweth is set to take the helm of the upcoming production of Queen of Versailles, which is set to kick off its performances this fall.
Menzel has recently extended her run in Redwood, and will now continue to star in the musical until August 17, 2025. This marks her return to Broadway after a decade away from the stage. The production, which debuted at the Nederlander Theatre on February 13, 2025, is a collaboration between Tony Award-nominee Tina Landau and composer Kate Diaz, who together crafted the music and lyrics for this unique theatrical experience.
Redwood is a moving new musical that tells the tale of one woman’s exploration of the magnificent yet fragile world of the redwoods. The central character, Jesse, portrayed by Menzel, has a thriving career and a loving family, but her world is turned upside down by a transformative event. As she ventures to the redwoods in Northern California, a coincidental meeting and an openness to new possibilities lead her to a profound change in her life. The narrative delves into themes of strength and resilience, illustrating the journey one undertakes to achieve healing in the aftermath of adversity.
