Menzel recently completed a month-long run of her new musical production Redwood at the La Jolla Playhouse in California. The production released a live track of the song “Great Escape” as a first listen to the music from the show co-conceived by Menzel and Tina Landau, with music by Kate Diaz and lyrics by Diaz and Landau, and book and direction by Landau.

General on-sale for tickets for the tour begins Friday.

Menzel rose to fame for her role as Maureen in the popular Broadway musical Rent, and her career took off when she won a Tony Award for her role as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the smash musical Wicked. Her voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney’s Frozen (the film’s song “Let It Go”, voiced by Menzel, won the Oscar for Best Original Song).
