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.
Mexodus, Off-Broadway’s newest hit, made its Austin debut at SXSW with a one‑night showcase, sharing a powerful, untold chapter of American history with Texas roots.
Many know about the Underground Railroad to the North, but this show sheds light on the escape route that moved south, guiding enslaved individuals across the Rio Grande into Mexico, where slavery was abolished, offering a different path to freedom.
This was a special opportunity to see a new Off-Broadway musical. The music, story, and performance were all very entertaining. It was a creative way to present and highlight another part of history to a broader audience. Visit their website to learn about ongoing opportunities to see this musical.
