Musicals101 wishes a very happy 60th birthday to Patti Lupone, who was born on April 21, 1949. This powerhouse performer remains one of the greatest stage talents of our time. Broadway's original Evita, she also starred in productions of Noises Off, Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables, Can Can, Pal Joey, Sunset Boulevard -- and gave the performance of a lifetime as Rose in the 2008 revival of Gypsy.
