If you can't make it to the Daryl Roth Theatre for Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson's critically acclaimed musical Mexodus, well you're in luck! Audible releases the complete audio recording of the original musical on its platform April 16, and Playbill has an exclusive look. See Quijada and Robinson perform their original song "Libre" in the video above, featuring footage from the show. Click here to listen to Mexodus on Audible.

Mexodus, created and performed by Robinson and Quijada, tells the story of the Underground Railroad that led to Mexico, following an enslaved man who escapes bondage by crossing the Rio Grande. Robinson and Quijada play all the characters in the show, and play all the music—with the help of a looping station that allows them to create the arrangements for every song in the show live in front of the audience every night

The musical is currently enjoying an encore run Off-Broadway through June 14, after which it will tour to Pasadena Playhouse in California, American Repertory Theater in Massachusetts, and other to-be-announced venues.
