Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on October 17, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Patti Cohenour! From haunting opera houses as Christine in *The Phantom of the Opera* to unraveling mysteries in *The Mystery of Edwin Drood*, you've dazzled Broadway with your incredible talent. Whether floating gracefully through Italy in *The Light in the Piazza* or rafting downriver with Huck Finn and Jim in *Big River*, your performances always leave us enchanted.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more applause than a curtain call, more joy than a standing ovation, and fewer surprises than an unfinished Dickens novel. May this year bring you as much delight as you've given audiences everywhere!
