The Off-Broadway return of Nygel D. Robinson and Brian Quijada's Mexodus has extended its run at the Daryl Roth Theatre. The encore bow of the Audible Theater production began March 6, and was initially set to continue through May 17. Performances will now continue through June 14. See new photos from the remount below.

Also getting a new date is the release of Audible's live audio recording of the show from its first Off-Broadway run last year. That was previously set to drop as an Audible Original June 18, but will now release April 16.

The show is inspired by the real-life stories of African Americans who escaped bondage by going south into Mexico. Creators Robinson and Quijada also 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 Off-Broadway bow follows hit runs in Baltimore; Washington, D.C.; and Berkeley, California.

"The energy and enthusiasm audiences brought to Mexodus last fall was crazy, and we can’t wait to bring it back to New York," said Robinson and Quijada in an earlier statement. "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."

The production features 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 serves as production stage manager, and casting is by Claire Yenson. Beacon Theatrical Services is providing theatrical supervision, and ShowTown Theatricals is general manager.
