Proof
About This Event
Proof at the Booth Theatre gathers Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young in a Broadway staging that emphasizes ensemble work over individual showmanship. Their careers — Edebiri’s crossover from The Bear into directing and stage, Cheadle’s film and theater record, Ha’s musical training, and Young’s consecutive Tony wins — inform a performance style of precision, listening and restrained dramatic accumulation.
