Paris Jackson and her brother Prince Jackson also attend the 75th annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall.
Paris, 24, and Prince, 25, took the stage early on in the show to introduce a performance from the production.
“A lot of people seem to think our dad changed popular music forever — and who are we to disagree? But what people may not know is he loved musicals, on film and on the stage,” said Prince. “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.”
Paris then added,” This number showcases that creative process as he builds a dance routine, step by unforgettable step, to one of his best loved hits.”
“Drawing on some of the influences who helped inspire his signature style,” she continued. “So it is our great honor to introduce Tony nominee Myles Frost and the remarkable cast of ‘MJ.’”
Frost and company then delivered a show-stopping rendition of “Smooth Criminal.”
