LIVE IT NY! COMING SOON IN NEW YORK
Mexodus at Daryl Roth Theater
March 6 – May 17, 2026
Following an acclaimed season at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre, the groundbreaking musical Mexodus, written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, returns to New York for a limited 10-week season. Choreographed by Tony Thomas and directed by David Mendizábal, the show uses live-looping to narrate a little-known chapter in the history of the United States: the journey south, crossing the Rio Grande to Mexico, in search of freedom and solidarity.
Called “an electrifying theatrical experience” by The New York Times, Mexodus combines energy, humor and emotion as it explores identity, migration and unexpected bonds that transcend borders. Additionally, it will premiere as an Audible Original on June 18, reaching millions of listeners around the world.
