Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on October 22, 1959)

Happy Birthday to the brilliant Marc Shaiman—composer, lyricist, and musical genius behind Broadway's beloved "Hairspray"! Your melodies have us dancing in our seats faster than Tracy Turnblad can tease her hair. From Baltimore to Broadway, your tunes are timelessly catchy and hilariously heartfelt.

Whether you're tickling ivories or penning witty lyrics that make John Waters proud (and maybe blush), you've given audiences countless reasons to smile. May your birthday be filled with as much joy as you've brought into theaters worldwide—and may you always remember: You can't stop the beat...or birthdays! Here's wishing you another award-winning year ahead!
