Paris and Prince Jackson warmed the hearts of many people when they showed up at the Tony Awards – the biggest Broadway event – held last night in New York City.
The Jackson siblings were there to support MJ: The Musical, which was nominated for 10 Tonys, including best musical. They also took photographs with Myles Frost, who portrays their father, Michael Jackson, in the show.
While introducing the show last night, the siblings said amazing things about the production that warmed the hearts of many.
“A lot of people seem to think our dad changed popular music forever — and who are we to disagree?” he joked. “But what people may not know is he loved musicals, on film and on the stage. That’s why we are so incredibly honored to introduce the night’s first nominee for best musical, MJ, which, using many of his iconic hits, looks at the complexities and brilliance of our father’s process,” they said.

Myles Frost went on to win the Tony Award for Leading Actor in a Musical.
“I am so blessed and grateful,” Frost said. “I just can’t control my feet. I want to say this to all the little Black kids out there who may not have a good relationship with their father, you can do it. first of all. and second of all, dad, I love you. We support each other because we are strong Black men. Thank you so much for allowing me to express my creativity. As Michael would say ‘with love, with love.’ Thank you!”
