Happiest of birthdays to my favorite Broadway baby! With best wishes for many healthy and happy years to come - thank you for always, always making me laugh. My mom passed away a couple of years ago after a long battle with cancer, and my "Producers" cast recording went a long way helping me to make it through. Thanks for the laughter, and have a terrific day!!

A very great and grand birthday wish here too, it's nice to have one of the last (at the moment), true Broadway masters working his butt off every night on the great white way. Thanks for all the laughs, I hope you get everything you wish for....and come visit a lil' more why dontcha?

Here Here!

Happy Birthday and welcome back to Broadway... Have a great one!

Warmest Birthday wishes to my favorite Broadway star. I'm sending cyber-bouquets of roses and cyber-buckets of champagne to the only actor that can make me buy a non-refundable Metroliner ticket to Boston (and anywhere else).
I know your plate is kinda full at the present, but please bring BUTLEY to New York soon!

Happy Birthday you adorable thing you! I have such a way with words huh??

Happy Birthday wishes from here as well... Glad to have Nathan back on Broadway in '04 where he belongs! Hope his special day brings him everything he wants and more.

oh yes..happy birthday cause I'm sure Nathan signs on and reads all this... lol...

Actually, he does.

Everybody!

How old are you now?

How old are you now?

Oh...I'm just hideous. Happy happy, Mr. Lane.

PS Sheek...was that photo taken of you after you knocked over Meryl's place?

It wasn't Meryl's Oscar I took, this one is Lillian Gish's!

Sheekala and Robbie J - with your icons, I think maybe a photo caption contest is in order!

And they have to be funny in honor of the birthday boy, let the games begin, and d oit for...Nathan.

Happy Birthday, Nathan!

Sheekala Caption:

"Nathan, I owe this Oscar to you (but you ain't gettin it) - If you hadn't taken Matthew for a burger that day and he hadn't developed Mad Cow Disease... I never would have played Leo opposite you in the movie...."

Why its good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan La-ane,
If you are looking for talent you're really OK.
Well not just OK you're great and I have to say,
Many happy returns on your birthday and I would like to tell you.
You're the oldest, erratic, senescent, geriatric in New Yo-o-o-o-ork!

Happy Birthday! (Yes I know its bad, but can I get an A for effort?)

Just like Blythe and Maura
I have a special day
You thought that I was ageless
Then you read the latest trades
Birthday'd
Oh boy, I'm so Birthday'd!

Nathan,

"Hakuna matata, have a wonderful day,
Hakuna matata, you're back on Broadway...
...for a kiddie-free...philosophy...
(have) a pina colada!"

Oh, have a drink, Nathan! You're 48 and fabulous! You run circles around the rest!

Happy Birthday Nathan.
I have seen every production you have been in over the last 10 years and you have been incredible in every single one.
I look forward to 20 more years.
Happy Birthday.

My favorites:
Lisbon Traviata!
Mizlansky/Zilinsky (You are no schmuck)
The Man Who Came To Dinner
The Producers
Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Broadway Bound
I can't wait for Frogs!

Nathan

Happy Happy

And we hope there are more than just TWENTY years more in your career...

I now know my limit. I highly doubt I will ever cross it again. Je regrette.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Have another great year!

Dear Nathan, let me express my sentiments simply:

Happy Birthday to one of Broadway's brightest stars.

Your loyal admirer,

You're the greatest, love ya man!

Happy Birthday, Nathan!

Best wishes to one of my favorite stars. I love you in theater and movies. Unfortunately, after trying for days, I could not get to see you in your stint with Matthew in the Producers. (hint, hint?)

A big fan, Broadwaylady

Posting this message was the first thing I thought when I woke up at 4:30 this morning!!

Happy Birthday Nathan Lane, you amazing ball of Broadway fire you! You never fail to bring a huge smile to anyone's face with your talent, humor and general prescence. Here's to many many more years ahead of you!! (By the way, you don't look a day past twenty-five!)

Lindsay

My god
They worship you here. It must feel good to be the King (the King of old Broadway)
PS I doubt you are reading this but if you are please give a kiss to Gary Beach for me.

You're not kidding, Corine, they DO worship Nathan here! I hesitated on putting this message on the board because you never know...glad to know this board supports Broadway's finest!

Nathan, you are adored! :)
