Sir Elton John, rock star and composer of Aida, wished his musical a happy second birthday March 20 with cast members Felicia Finley, Simone and Adam Pascal. Aida, which is loosely based on the Verdi opera, officially opened on Broadway on March 23, 2000. Pascal still plays Radames, a young prince who must choose between the princess chosen for him (Finley) and the slave girl he loves (Simone).
