From Prince George’s to Broadway & Beyond: Myles Frost Set to Star in New Broadway Musical Ali

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about one of our own: Myles Frost, a proud Prince George’s County native and PGAHC friend, has been tapped to star in the upcoming Broadway musical Ali, based on the life and legacy of the legendary Muhammad Ali.

Frost—who made history as the youngest solo Tony Award winner for Best Actor in a Musical for his unforgettable portrayal of Michael Jackson in MJ the Musical—will now step into the role of another icon. According to BlkScript, the new production is set to premiere in fall 2025, with Tony-nominated director Christopher Wheeldon at the helm and music by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the award-winning duo behind SIX.

This marks another major milestone for Frost, whose journey from local stages to international acclaim continues to inspire a new generation of artists coming out of Prince George’s County.

At PGAHC, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing Myles’ artistic evolution and remain proud to celebrate his ongoing success. His story is proof of what’s possible when talent, opportunity, and determination come together—and we can’t wait to see him shine in this next chapter.

Congratulations, Myles! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
