Mexodus - COPY

On the heels of a critically acclaimed, twice-extended run at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre in Fall 2025, P3 Productions (Ben Holtzman, Sammy Lopez, and Fiona Howe Rudin) and Audible Theater are thrilled to announce that Mexodus, the new musical written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, choreographed by Tony Thomas, and directed by David Mendizábal, will return to New York City this spring for a limited 10-week-only engagement. Performances begin Friday, March 6 at the Daryl Roth Theatre (101 East 15th Street). Tickets for performances through Sunday, May 17 are on sale now at MexodusMusical.com. 

Mexodus will also be released as an Audible Original on June 18, extending its reach to millions of Audible listeners around the world. The Audible Original pre-order is now available.

Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson said, “The energy and enthusiasm audiences brought to Mexodus last fall was CRAZY and we can’t wait to bring it back to New York. In every performance, we start with a chaotic assortment of instruments and, through looping, create something much bigger than ourselves. From the stage to the global Audible release, we’re honored to extend the reach of this story of solidarity. In these insane times, it’s important that we remember that we’re all in this together. Todos estamos juntos en esto.”

Ben Holtzman, Sammy Lopez, and Fiona Howe Rudin of P3 Productions shared, “Collaborating with Audible Theater to uplift the Mexodus team has been deeply fulfilling at a time when questions of solidarity and belonging feel especially resonant for New Yorkers. We’re excited to continue that dialogue and share the joy with audiences through this bold, original musical.”

Kate Navin, Audible Head of Creative Development for North America, said: “Brian, Nygel, and David have created an extraordinary musical that illuminates a vital piece of history. Mexodus perfectly blends form and content, and through the live-looping storytelling, they take us on an exhilarating and deeply profound journey. We’re honored to bring this work back to New York with P3 Productions, and the Audible Original release later this year will continue to deliver this powerful story to millions of listeners worldwide.”

“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.
