Get Mexodus tickets on New York Theatre Guide to see a five-star musical Metrograph says is "bringing beats, rhymes, and life to an untaught chapter of American history — Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson form a formidable double act." Those two performers are also the creators of this hip-hop history musical that has earned rave reviews across the country.
In Mexodus off Broadway, a fresh story reveals an untold historic era: when thousands of people escaped slavery by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. You know the story of the Underground Railroad that ran north, but Mexodus takes audiences on the path that ran south. Robinson and Quijada embody an escaped slave and a Mexican farmer as they forge a bond that transcends borders, and the performers tell that story with numerous instruments and live-looping technology to build up the show's musical world in real time. Mexodus reveals a story reclaimed and a legacy repeated.
Mexodus had its world premiere with Baltimore Center Stage and Mosaic Theater Company before it moved to Berkley Repertory Theatre. Now, it comes to New York City to wow audiences with award-winning might: the show won three Helen Hayes Awards, for Outstanding Production of a Musical, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Musical (Quijada), and Outstanding Director of a Musical (David Mendizábal).
Ages 12+. Children under 5 are not permitted in the theatre.
