The show opened in February, but never really found an audience after receiving mixed reviews. For the week of April 27, it only sold 75% of available tickets, according to the Broadway League, marking one of the lower numbers for theatres.

Menzel was also a co-conceiver of the show, which is directed by Tina Landau. "Redwood" is playing at the Nederlander Theatre on West 41st Street.
