I share a brithday with Hamerstein, but the 1st though, not the 2nd which kinda sucks. My friends birthday is Richard Rogers birthday and we see shows together all the time and it would be hysterical if we were born on the same days as the famous duo

I'd post them, but THE.HARD.PART already beat me. Happy Birthday to us re: Checked IBDB for opening nights on your birthday?

P.S. Shakespeare was Baptised on our Birthday 4/26 The only real record of his birth. They assume he was born on the 23rd becuase children were normally baptised three days after birth.
