Proof, the 2000 David Auburn play that cracked the mental code between genius and madness, is making a dazzling comeback. This time, it is not just the script that has fans buzzing; it is the electric first-time Broadway appearances of Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle. This infusion of new energy into the characters, blending humor and poignancy, is bound to command the audience’s full attention from curtain rise to fall. One can expect laughs, tears, and a few burnt-out equations all rolled into one sharp performance.
With preview dates set for March 31, 2026, Ayo Edebiri has been placed into the tricky throes of Catherine, the math whiz with family drama hotter than a laptop on a pillow. On the very same page, Don Cheadle has stepped in with the calm gravitas of someone who explains quantum physics with a wink. His might just be a promise that emotional stakes are going to get lifted higher than any theorem ever could, balancing brains and heartbeats with polished ease.
This revival is not just hitting the right notes; it is rewriting the whole score. Prepare to see Proof transform from a classic into a knockout showcase of brains and Broadway bravado.

This Proof revival is not just a rerun; it is Broadway getting a fresh software update come April 16, 2026. The chemistry between Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle is set to hook faster than you can say "Pythagorean theorem". With their proven knack for turning family drama into must-see entertainment (cue Ayo Edebiri in The Bear), they are a duo made in theatre heaven. Forget dusty old plays, this one is in fact, proof, that Broadway still knows how to keep it fresh and fabulous, even breaking 16-year-old auto-records while at it.
