On March 15, 2026, Audible presented Mexodus: A Musical Journey Across Borders at The Courtyard ATX. This special event was open to Platinum, Innovation, Film & TV and Music Badges. The invitation to attend described the performance as “the groundbreaking live-looping hip-hop musical Mexodus. Created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, the innovative work explores the untold history of the Underground Railroad that ran south into Mexico.
Through a blend of musical influences and compelling storytelling, Mexodus brings to life the struggles and triumphs that reveal the bond between two unlikely friends.
Off-Broadway’s hottest new musical, Mexodus, made its Austin debut with a one‑night‑only showcase at SXSW, marking a historic moment for musical theater. The special event introduced festival audiences to a powerful, largely untold chapter of American history—one that resonates deeply with Texas roots.
You know the story of the Underground Railroad that ran North—but this show takes you on the path that ran south by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico.
This was a very special opportunity to see an Off-Broadway new musical. The music, the story and performance were all very entertaining. It was a very creative way to present and highlight another part of history to a broader audience. Visit their website to learn of ongoing opportunities to see this musical.
