Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on March 18, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Christopher! May your day be filled with more applause than opening night of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and fewer mishaps than a dress rehearsal for "Rent." You've dazzled Broadway audiences time and again—proving that life truly is better when you're center stage (and preferably singing).

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as your unforgettable performances in shows like "In My Life." Keep shining brighter than the marquee lights, because let's face it: Broadway wouldn't be nearly as fabulous without you. Cheers to another year of standing ovations—and minimal costume malfunctions!
