Proof returns to Broadway in 2026 with a striking revival at the Booth Theatre, reintroducing David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award‑winning play with a star‑studded cast and acclaimed creative team. The story centers on Catherine, a young woman grappling with the legacy of her brilliant but unstable mathematician father after his death, navigating complex family dynamics and questions of authorship when a groundbreaking notebook surfaces among his papers. The play examines the tension between genius and madness, doubt and belief, and the struggle to define one’s own worth in the shadow of a towering legacy. This production marks the Broadway debuts of Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri and Oscar‑nominated actor Don Cheadle, joined by Samira Wiley and Jin Ha, under the direction of Thomas Kail, best known for his work on Hamilton. Previews begin March 31, 2026, with an opening night on April 16 and the limited engagement running through July 19, offering audiences a haunting and emotionally resonant theatrical experience grounded in sharp writing and compelling performances.
