Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on July 21, 1951)

Happy birthday to the sensational Lillias White—whose luminous talent sets stages ablaze brighter than Broadway's neon signs! From commanding performances as Sonia in "The Life," where your fierce presence earned you both Tony and Drama Desk Awards, you've charmed countless audiences with unmatched charisma.

Whether belting iconic melodies or dazzling us on-screen, your boundless energy is ageless and truly legendary. Just thinking about all that applause still echoing from 1997 gives us chills—and makes our standing ovation muscles ache a little!

So here's hoping this year brings more stage triumphs, laughter-filled rehearsals, thunderous curtain calls...and cake that's even sweeter than award-winning success!
