Idina Menzel is no stranger to flying high above Broadway stages, and she made her soaring return (literally) Thursday night with the new musical “ Redwood .”

The “Wicked” belter scales a 300-foot tree, and a mountain of songs, in a powerful if woo-woo musical about trauma and resilience.

“Redwood” gave me a renewed appreciation for “Into the Woods” and its composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim. His show has the same themes, and the song “No One Is Alone,” softly sung by Cinderella, is a wise meditation on loss among the leaves that goes straight for the soul.
