Idina Menzel is 'emotional' over returning to her roots by starring in her new Broadway musical, 'Redwood,' which is performing at the same theater she made her debut nearly 30 years ago.

Broadway's new musical starring Idina Menzel is off to a strong start at the box office. CBS News New York's Dave Carlin reports.

Making a promising arrival was Redwood, the new musical starring Idina Menzel, the crowd-pleasing original star of Wicked and Rent. Directed by Tina Landau, the musical played two previews, selling out and grossing $397,117 at the Nederlander. Opening night is February 13.

A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical announced late Saturday that it will play its final performance Feb. 23, after opening on Broadway Nov. 11. The news came as the musical saw the lowest gross of its run last week, at $479,348, and the show played to a capacity of 65 percent at Studio 54.
