My predicted five are Aidem/Hecht/Metcalf/Squibb/Young, with Nixon, Cash, Rose and Emond close behind.

Frank J. Abella from The Contending is positive

Keenly directed by Thomas Kail (Hamilton, Sweeney Todd revival), this revival plays like an absolutely riveting thriller right up until the final moments. I was also impressed with the lighting (by Amanda Sieve) during scene changes.

Edebiri, who is onstage for most of the show, does wondrous work, shifting from depressed and lethargic to excited and game, as needed. Her Catherine is a fascinating enigma. Is she nuts? Brilliant? A bit of both? What is clear is the toll caregiving has taken on her and anyone who’s ever cared for an ailing parent and then lost them will appreciate the despair and exhaustion she conveys. It’s a Tony-worthy turn.

You don’t have to be a math nerd to appreciate Proof—although if you are, that’s certainly a boon. The play is about love and family and that fine line between brilliance and madness. Sadly, the reverberating theme of how society tends to minimize and even discard the contributions of women, is still timely today–perhaps even more so than 25 years ago.
