Proof is back on Broadway, bringing together Emmy-winner Ayo Edebiri and Oscar-nominee Don Cheadle in a play that’s equal parts intellectual thriller and family drama. Set in Chicago, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play explores the fragile boundaries between genius and madness, trust and suspicion. The story centers on Catherine, the daughter of a renowned mathematician, as she grapples with her father’s legacy and her own future. With a script celebrated for its sharp wit and emotional resonance, Proof Broadway tickets promise a night of thought-provoking theater for fans of drama, math, and family intrigue.
Storyline
Catherine, a brilliant but restless young woman, has spent years caring for her father, Robert, a legendary mathematician whose mind has unraveled. After his death, a mysterious notebook surfaces, containing groundbreaking proof. As questions swirl about its true authorship, Catherine must confront her own fears, her sister’s doubts, and the ambitions of a charismatic graduate student. Is the proof really hers, or is she losing her grip on reality? The answer lies just out of reach.
