Audible Theater is bringing Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson's hip-hop history musical Mexodus to New York, with an Off-Broadway run set at the Minetta Lane Theater to begin September 9 ahead of a September 18 opening night. The work will be recorded for release as an Audible Original. David Mendizábal is directing.

The work looks to uncover the stories behind overlooked portions of the Underground Railroad that led into Mexico, with both Quijada and Robinson also performing the "live-looping" musical. The play is making its New York debut after three earlier stagings, at Baltimore Center Stage, Washington, D.C's Mosaic Theater Company, and California's Berkeley Repertory Theatre. The piece also got a developmental staging at New York Stage and Film.

P3 Productions is collaborating with Audible to produce.

"Music is the vessel that allows us to connect this vital story to our world today, and we’re thrilled to join forces with the incredible Audible Theater and P3 Productions teams to present this New York City premiere," say Quijada and Robinson in a joint statement. "In reuniting with our visionary director David Mendizábal, we can’t wait to continue sharing the power and resilience at the heart of this work."

"We’re honored to bring Brian and Nygel’s virtuosic, boundary pushing work to New York, and later, to listeners across the globe with its Audible Original release," adds Audible's Head of Live Creative Producing Jeremy Blocker. "The thrilling sonic world that they have created to explore this rarely told piece of history is a marvel, and this collaboration with P3 Productions underscores our commitment to amplifying bold, innovative voices to the widest possible audience."

The production will feature scenic design by Riw Rakkulchon, costume design by David Mendizábal, lighting design by Mextly Couzin, sound design by Mikhail Fiksel, projection design by Johnny Moreno, and choreography by Tony Thomas. Hope Villaneuva will serve as production stage manager, and casting is by Claire Yenson. Beacon Theatrical Services is providing theatrical supervision, and ShowTown Theatricals is general manager.
