A Story Reclaimed. A Legacy, Looped.

“The season’s first must-see musical” (The Wrap), MEXODUS reveals a hidden chapter of American history.

You know the story of the Underground Railroad that ran North—but this show takes you on the path that ran South by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. “An electrifying theatrical experience,” (The New York Times) created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, this groundbreaking musical follows a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders.

“An electrifying theatrical experience…Brian Quijada and Nygel Robinson rely on music made from loops, starting with plucks on the stand-up bass, strums on acoustic guitar and a run on piano keys … crafting an entire sonic universe from scratch, they build the ark of a song and ride the waves — a dazzling showcase not just for what music can be, but also for the ecstasy of making it.” – The New York Times Critic’s Pick

“A theatrical miracle… Quijada and Robinson interrogate under-taught history through powerful personal storytelling and hip-hop. Separately, these elements would be fascinating enough. Combine them, and the results are electrifying.” – Mashable

“It’s not only exciting to watch, it’s a theatrical high wire act.” – Theatrely

 ★★★★ “Brilliant and timely.” – New York Stage Review

“The next frontier in rigorously and freshly inventive theatrical storytelling.” – Slant Magazine
