New York, NY (June 30, 2026) – The first ever Broadway revival of David Auburn’s Tony Award® and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof starts the final three weeks of its strictly limited engagement tonight as Tony Award® winner Adrienne Warren joins the cast as ‘Claire,’ alongside Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe Award® winner Ayo Edebiri, Academy Award® nominee, two-time Golden Globe Award winner, and 11-time Emmy Award nominee Don Cheadle, and Grammy Award® nominee Jin Ha. Proof will end its acclaimed limited run on Sunday, July 19 at Broadway’s Booth Theatre (222 West 45th Street).

Warren was most recently seen onstage in the New York City Center Encores! staging of Michael John LaChiusa’s The Wild Party. Last year, she appeared as ‘Cathy’ in the revival of The Last Five Years alongside Nick Jonas and will be seen in the upcoming indie film Shadow Dance. In 2021, Warren won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for portraying ‘Tina’ in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.
In Proof, Catherine (Edebiri), the brilliant but restless daughter of renowned mathematics professor Robert (Cheadle), is thrust into turmoil when a notebook containing a revelatory proof is discovered after his death. As debate erupts over its true authorship, Catherine must confront the power of legacy, and the cost of proving herself.
The creative team for Proof includes 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), Obie Award® winner Justin Ellington and Connor Wang (sound design), Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Mia Neal (hair & wig design), Daniel Swee, CSA (casting director), and Sara Gammage (production stage manager). Baseline Theatrical serves as general manager for the production.
Tickets for Proof are on sale at telecharge.com/proof-tickets, by calling 212 239 6200, at the Booth Theatre box office, or at proofbroadway.com.
Proof had its world premiere Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in 2000, becoming a sold-out smash and immediately transferred to Broadway where it received six Tony Award nominations and won three including Best Play and the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play has been widely produced all over the country and internationally has received productions in London, Manila, Stockholm, Sydney, Tokyo, and others. Proof was adapted by Auburn into a feature film that was released by Miramax Films in 2005.
Proof is produced by Mike Bosner and Thomas Kail.
