Mexodus – the New York Times Critic’s Pick new musical created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson – comes straight from New York to the Playhouse stage this summer. This electrifying experience explores a hidden chapter of the Underground Railroad – one that moved south, by crossing the Rio Grande toward liberation in Mexico. This groundbreaking musical amplifies the story of a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders. It’s history remixed. It’s a ride you won’t want to miss.
