Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe Award winner Ayo Edebiri and Academy Award nominee, two-time Golden Globe Award winner, and 11-time Emmy Award nominee Don Cheadle will make their Broadway debuts next spring in the first ever New York revival of David Auburn’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof, directed by Tony Award winner Thomas Kail, and produced by Mike Bosner and Kail.
Proof will play a strictly limited engagement at a Shubert theatre to be announced with preview performances beginning Tuesday, March 31, 2026, ahead of a Thursday, April 16, 2026 opening night.
The creative team for Proof will also include Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Kris Bowers (original music), Teresa L. Williams (scenic design), Tony Award winner Dede Ayite (costume design), Amanda Zieve (lighting design), and Daniel Swee, CSA (casting director). Baseline Theatrical serves as general manager for the production.
A daughter’s genius. A father’s legacy. A story of love, logic, and loss. Edebiri and Cheadle star in Proof, a searing portrait of a family bound by brilliance.
Additional casting, members of the design team, and ticketing information for Proof will be announced in the coming weeks.
