Field Trip! Mexodus
After an incredible run off-Broadway last fall, Mexodus is BACK in performances for a return engagement. And it’s winning all the awards, for good reason. Come see this innovative looped musical with The Bridge and catch it while you still can (it must close June 14). Before the show, we’ll have a casual chat with Mexodus co-producer Liz Carlson to learn more about how this super unique show uses music and technology to tell its story.
Tickets are $115.

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. “An electrifying theatrical experience,” (The New York Times) created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, this groundbreaking musical follows a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders.
FIELD TRIP! COME FROM AWAY
Coming soon! Join us to see Come From Away at Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ. From its original Broadway premiere in 2017 through several professional tours, the show is just recently available for licensing which means theaters and directors are now able to imagine new productions while remaining faithful to the original script and score. We can’t wait to see this powerful story at the acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse. Before the show, we’ll chat with Music Director Sam Groisser about the how this production uses actor/musicians to enhance the sound and bring the music to the forefront of the story.
FIELD TRIP! HADESTOWN
COMING SOON: We’ll gather a group and see Hadestown on Broadway, followed by a conversation with Hadestown dramaturg Ken Cerniglia after the performance and some other special guests. Get to know this groundbreaking show in a new way and learn about how the story found its shape on its journey to Broadway.
FIELD TRIP! I AND YOU
Join The Bridge for an exclusive outing to see the new musical I AND YOU at McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ. Book and lyrics by Lauren Gunderson, Music by Ari Afsar.
This two person musical follows teenagers who find their lives connecting in eerie and unexpected ways. This show is based on a play of the same name (also by Gunderson) and won a ton of awards when it premiered a decade ago. This new musical version with a rock-infused score is an utter delight -- an emotional jolt that reminds you about the best of humanity and how we're all in it together.
Run time around 90 minutes.
Suggested age range 12+
Tickets ~$80 each
