The 75th Tony Awards went big as Michael Jackson's children, Paris and Prince, graced the big stage to honor their late father. Their honor consisted of a performance from the highly regarded musical 'MJ: The Musical' which was nominated for the Best Musical in the award ceremony. The fans were shaken by the fact that MJ's children have aged and that too pretty well. 

Prince, in his all-black suit, addressed the cheering crowd about his father who was a top-notch entertainer. He said, "A lot of people seem to think our dad Michael Jackson changed popular music forever. And who are we to disagree?" He continued talking about his father, who is considered one of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century, "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.”
