It's Broadway's sweetheart's birthday today!

Laura Osnes, who has been seen in Grease, Bonnie and Clyde, Anything Goes and Cinderella turns 30 today.

Osnes shot to stardom after appearing on the television show Grease: You're the One That I Want!  She won which meant that she would star on Broadway as Sandy in the revival of Grease in 2007.

After acting in Grease for a year, Osnes then played Nellie in South Pacific replacing Tony winner Kelli O'Hara and has had a role on Broadway pretty much every year since.

While she is extremely talented, everyone in the Broadway community admires her for her sweet spirit and bubbly personality.  One can really tell how much she loves her job and she is so grateful for the opportunities she has gotten.

Osnes even delayed her wedding plans to compete on Grease: You're the One That I Want.

Luckily she won and got married shortly after.

She has been nominated for two Tony Awards, one for playing Bonnie in Bonnie and Clyde in 2012 and Cinderella in Cinderella in 2013.

Osnes just finished performing in a new musical, The Bandstand at PaperMill Playhouse in New Jersey.  It was just announced that the production will be transferring to Broadway in 2016.

Fans cannot wait to go see Osnes live onstage again.

Maybe she will win her first Tony Award in 2016.

Break Legs,
Sydney
