Written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, and directed by David Mendizábal, the groundbreaking new musical will run through October 18, 2025. An Audible Original audio release will follow on June 18, 2026, and is available now for pre-order here.

The new musical Mexodus, written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson and directed by David Mendizábal, is now running through October 18 at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre. The show tells the untold story of the Underground Railroad route into Mexico and will be released worldwide as an Audible Original on June 18, 2026.

Audiences know the history of the Underground Railroad leading North—but Mexodus illuminates the little-known path South, where thousands of enslaved people escaped by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. Called “thrilling” by The Washington Post and “genius in motion” by the San Francisco Chronicle, the show follows a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they form a bond that transcends borders.

The musical was developed in prior productions at New York Stage and Film (2021), Baltimore Center Stage and Mosaic Theater Company of DC (Spring 2024), and Berkeley Repertory Theatre (Fall 2024).

The creative team includes Riw Rakkulchon (scenic design), David Mendizábal (costume design), Mextly Couzin (lighting design), Mikhail Fiksel (looping systems architecture and sound design), Johnny Moreno (projections design), Tony Thomas (choreography), and Claire Yenson, C.S.A. (casting). Hope Villanueva serves as production stage manager, with theatrical supervision by Beacon Theatrical Services and general management by ShowTown Theatricals.

Mexodus is produced by Audible Theater and P3 Productions (Ben Holtzman, Sammy Lopez, and Fiona Howe Rudin).
