Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on June 20, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Jason Robert Brown! May your celebrations last longer than "The Last Five Years," and may the applause be louder than ever. Your melodies have enchanted Broadway stages, making us laugh, cry—and occasionally question our life choices through song.

From winning a Tony Award for "Parade" to captivating audiences with heartfelt storytelling in every note you compose—your brilliance is timeless. Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes (and none of those tricky high ones). Keep composing masterpieces that make us sing along loudly—even if we're slightly off-key. Cheers to another year of musical magic!
