March 10 was opening night for the encore run of Nygel D. Robinson and Brian Quijada's Mexodus at the Daryl Roth Theatre, and the stars came out to celebrate. Hit the red carpet in the photo gallery below.

The return of the Audible Theater production began March 6, and, after a recent extension, is set to continue through June 14. Audible will release an audio recording from the show's 2025 Off-Broadway run as an Audible Original 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.
