Idina Menzel returns to Broadway with Tina Landau's new musical Redwood .

The musical is inspired by environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill , who spent two years living in a thousand-year-old redwood to save it from being cut down.

It's Menzel's first time working with an all-female creative team.

Menzel is adamant that singing Wicked ’s “Defying Gravity” in the aughts night after night , flying through the air, in no way prepped her for the mid-air singing she’d come to perfect in Redwood .

“I’m still learning—refining and figuring out more ways to use my body and feel free, buoyant, and liberated,” she says.
