Jackson Hayes

(Little Michael) went from being a future king as Young Simba on the Broadway National Tour of The Lion King to being blessed to pay homage to the King of Pop. He is a student at Cab Calloway School of the Arts. He lives to make choices his future self will appreciate. Thank you, God, Mom, Dad, Jared, Jordan, and family. IG@JustJacksonHayes
