Frost sent a shiver down the spines of the Broadway audiences with his uncanny portrayl of the late, great, singer. His breathtaking performance saw him pick up the Tony award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical, becoming the youngest person to claim the title.

The much anticipated musical will introduce Jaydon Eastman, Elliot Mugume, Ethan Sokontwe and Dylan Trigger as Little Michael, alongside Cristiano Cuino, Sekhani Dumezweni, Khanya Madaka and Aidan Oti as Little Marlon.
The full cast is completed by Derek Aidoo, Morgan Baulch, Milan Cacacie, Spencer Darlaston-Jones, Hanna Dimtsu, Aden Dzuda, Marie Finlayson, Christopher Gopaul, Kalisha Johnson, Grace Kanyamibwa, Travis Kerry, Dianté Lodge, Simeon Montague, George Ross, Lydia Sterling, Toyan Thomas-Browne, Taylor Walker, Charlotte-Kate Warren and Tavio Wright.
With a book from Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, and choreography from Tony Award-winning director Christopher Wheeldon, MJ the Musical goes beyond the singular moves (and singular glove) of the pop phenomenon, offering rare insight to the creative and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. Set in the rehearsal rooms of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, the mammoth musical packs in all the iconic hits and characters that made his tour one of the best of all time.
