The Tony-winning Broadway lyricist celebrates his birthday April 30.
"The 1st Broadway show I saw was Fiddler On The Roof -- the original company with Zero Mostel. My mother knew that this was going to be a hit, and she ordered seats months before it opened. My most vivid memory is of 'Do You Love Me?' Perfection!"
