Ayo Edebiri makes a compelling Broadway debut opposite Don Cheadle in Thomas Kail’s revival of David Auburn’s Proof at the Booth Theatre, anchoring a strong ensemble (Jin Ha, Kara Young) as the mind-bending drama about a brilliant mathematician’s legacy and a daughter’s fear of genius turning to madness unfolds with sharp pacing, emotional stakes, and striking design.
Broadway’s latest revival of Proof largely preserves David Auburn’s elegant, accessible structure, with Kara Young delivering a crisp, stabilizing performance as Claire and Don Cheadle mostly restrained; Ayo Edebiri, while strong in early scenes, loses grip during the play’s dramatic turns, revealing missteps in the central performance. Despite those acting misfires, the production’s design remains tasteful and Auburn’s writing continues to carry its intrinsic logic, keeping the show’s core appeal intact.
