A story reclaimed, a legacy looped: this hip-hop musical plays with the elasticity of time to highlight how the fight for freedom is one that takes many forms across generations. The play runs for a strictly limited run and, Metro Weekly gave it a five-star review: “Bringing beats, rhymes, and life to an untaught chapter of American history, Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson form a formidable double act.”
Many musicals have tackled moments from history: Hamilton has its own hip-hop score, Suffs looked at women fighting for the right to vote, and Assassins even examined those who attempted to, or did kill, presidents. But now, in Mexodus, audiences may learn about a less-told part of American history: those who looked to escape slavery by not heading north but south, across the Mexican border. Like the aforementioned musicals, this one is not a history lesson, but rather a highly entertaining piece of theatre.
Mexodus is a groundbreaking hip-hop musical about people who escaped slavery by moving across the Mexican border.
Mexodus runs for 1hr 30min.
Mexodus is at New York's Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre, which is located at 18 Minetta Lane (between Bleecker and West 3rd Street), New York, 10012.
