Edebiri shines as headlining force in Broadway revival of Proof
TL;DR
Ayo Edebiri makes a triumphant Broadway debut leading David Auburn’s Proof at the Booth Theatre, in a non‑white revival directed by Thomas Kail that pairs her with Don Cheadle and Jin Ha. The Pulitzer Prize–winning play centers on a brilliant but troubled daughter reconciling her explosive mathematical talent with care for her ailing father, and the production is praised for Edebiri’s verbal authority and emotional depth, while noting minor quibbles with Teresa L. Williams’s set design.
