(CTN News) – Myles Frost portrayal of Michael Jackson in the musical MJ: The Musical earned him the Tony Award for outstanding leading actor in a musical, for which he took home the prestigious prize.

The 22-year-old Broadway phenom took home the Tony Award for best leading actor in a musical for his portrayal of Jackson in “MJ: The Musical.”

Myles Frost And Michael Jackson

Myles Frost was asked if he wished he could say anything to Michael Jackson after winning the 2022 Tony Award for MJ: The Musical. “How did I do?

If Michael Jackson were alive today and had witnessed Frost playing him, he probably would have said, “Well done.” Jackson’s children, Prince and Paris, and his bandmates and brothers all showed their support for the play.

The “2022 Tony Awards” witnessed the birth of a star when Frost embodied Jackson’s ethereal speaking voice and limber dance movement.

It was evident that Frost’s Michael Jackson was destined to play Jackson, as he danced alongside his dance heroes Fred Astaire, Bob Fosse, and The Nicholas Brothers before seamlessly moving into a show-stopping performance of “Smooth Criminal” with the production company.

Seeing Frost take on the persona of Jackson so effectively in “MJ,” it’s difficult to believe he wasn’t the first choice.

A 13-time Grammy winner was originally to be played by actor Ephraim Sykes in 2019. In the jukebox musical, “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations,” Skyes played David Ruffin, another former Motown star with a signature voice.

Originally scheduled for 2020, “MJ” was delayed when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Broadway. Due to scheduling conflicts, Skyes stepped down by 2021. Introducing Frost, a Washingtonian of 22 with no previous Broadway experience.

Frost turned out to be the right person for the role from the beginning. It is no secret that fans have been watching Frost’s star rise with every passing performance, from the previews all the way to the Tony Awards.
This will be his first time winning a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical as he is the youngest solo winner ever.
