It's a story that educates and uplifts while revealing a history rarely taught in schools — a tale of Black and Brown people coming together to help enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad across the Rio Grande into Mexico. This musical is an exhilarating time at the theater as its creators and performers Nygel D. Robinson and Brian Quijada create songs before our eyes, play multiple instruments and raise their voices in songs that dramatically tell an untold story in this country. "Mexodus" is mesmerizing and has an energy that is contagious.
