You know the story of the Underground Railroad that ran North—but this show takes you on the path that ran South, revealing the untold journey of thousands who escaped slavery by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. Called “thrilling” by The Washington Post and “genius in motion” by the San Francisco Chronicle, this groundbreaking theatrical experience follows a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders.

An Incredible Retelling of History

Opens a new part of American Story
"A lot of talent on display as the two performers find a fresh and engaging way to spin this story of a Mexican who lost his land and spirit and a runaway slave, and how they free each other. The music and vibe is a must. Timely!"

A superb play all around
"Loved the dynamic interaction between the two actors portraying through song, music and dialogue the history of the underground railroad to Mexico via The Rio Grande for African Slaves.
Too bad the play cannot be extended as more people would want to see it as word of mouth is given Mexodus glowing reviews.!!!!!!!

Absolutely genius!!
"This was one of the best musicals I’ve ever seen and I see a lot, and I’m usually not too easy to please! Two performers being able to pull something like this off was mind blowing. I danced, laughed, cried, and learned so much. Beautiful story, captivating music, incredible performances. Go see this!! "

MEX-ENTRANCE
"Luved:
1: the beautifully rendered diverse musical mixes by 2 amazing actors deserving of greater recognition
2: the in-between narratives
3: the personification of previously hidden historical truths
4: the emphasis on North American Original Sin of racism
5: the vehicle of music revealing memory"
