Don Cheadle & Ayo Edebiri's 'Proof' Chemistry

0:00On April 19, Don Cheetle and Isle Edibiri are lighting a broadway in the revival of David Auburn's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Proof. Cheetle stars as Robert, a brilliant math professor battling mental health struggles, while Edibiri plays his daughter Catherine, who's put her own, life on hold to care for him. Is their first time working together, and the show's running at the Booth Theatre in New York City through July 19. Offstage, they've got this real father-daughter vibe going strong. Edibiri calls Cheetle one of her top actors ever, like Mount Rushmore level. He even checks in on her bedtime, texting when she's up too late, reminding her they've got a show tomorrow. That chemistry spills right into their performances, making the family drama hit even harder. Both bring heavy credentials to the role. Edibiri blew up with the bear, snagging an Emmy along the way after years grinding in Hollywood. Cheetle's got over 50 films under his belt, from Ocean's 11 Heists in Iron Man's Suites

This marks Cheetle's Broadway debut, Edibiri's 2, and even first producing gig for Barack and Michelle Obama. Cheetle describes the rush of hitting the stage, like cresting a roller coaster backstage tension building, until the lights hit and it's go time, hoping wine, stick and magic happens with the scene partner. Their sync is so tight, even unscripted moments feel scripted. Like when asked if they'll team up again, they hit not at all and kinda hope not in. Perfect unison, cracking up together, catch proof. Before wraps on July 19th, these two are proof that star power plus heart equals theater gold.
