FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Proof

Proof review: Ayo Edebiri plus Don Cheadle equals an intriguing Broadway revival of Tony-winning play
7 / 10

More than two decades after the Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play first debuted on Broadway, David Auburn’s rumination on genius, legacy, and complicated family dynamics has returned to the Great White Way for the first time ever in an intriguing revival led by Emmy winners Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle. While it may take the production a moment to fully kick into gear, Proof’s effective performances from its four-member cast will keep theatergoers engrossed in all of its mathematical complexities and human eccentricities until the very end. Grade: B

Proof Broadway Review
8 / 10

An odd feature of the set is that the old-fashioned back porch during scene changes is suddenly outlined in lights that travel along rectangular path — the window frames, and doorways, etc. This may be an effort to evoke modern tech (much like the design of the recent play “Data”) and thus give the production a more up-to-date feel. But it’s the casting that helps bring “Proof” genuinely up to date. Since the play’s original run, we’ve become more aware real-life pioneers, such as in the the 2016 book and movie “Hidden Figures,” based on the true story of the accomplishments made by, and discrimination faced by, Katherine Johnson, a mathematician and two colleagues, all of them Black women, who worked for NASA. It feels worth mentioning that, if there is such a thing as a famous mathematician these days (presently alive, as opposed to, say, Pythagoras or Euclid, or Isaac Newton) it would Terence Tao, a naturalized American citizen born of Chinese immigrant parents in Australia, who is a professor at UCLA.
