Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on March 19, 1960)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Maria Friedman! From your unforgettable performances in "Ragtime," you've dazzled audiences with your incredible talent, charm, and wit. Your ability to bring characters vividly to life on stage has left us all humming tunes long after the curtain falls.

May this birthday be as spectacular as your standing ovations and filled with laughter brighter than Broadway lights. Here's hoping you celebrate today surrounded by applause-worthy cake, endless joy, and perhaps a spontaneous musical number or two—because let's face it, everything's better when you're singing!

Cheers to another year of brilliance both onstage and off!
