I saw a photo of him with Charles Strouse at 54 Below not long ago, and he looked great.

Adams, Strouse, and John Kander are among the last surviving musical theater writers of the late-period "Golden Age" of the 1950s-60s.

So if you need an excuse to put on a happy face...today's the day!

Like those times they did Bye, Bye Birdie, Golden Boy, Superman and Applause?

They could do ALL AMERICAN... ;) 

(But they won't.)

Happy 100th, belatedly, to an underrated and superb craftsman.
