BiographyZippel was born and raised in Easton, Pennsylvania. Falling in love with the theater as a child, Zippel first articulated his life's ambition to become a lyricist and director in junior high school. As an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania, he contributed lyrics to an Equity production of "a bizarre political musical" called Rotunda (which had a brief run in Washington, D.C.), before graduating with a B.A. in 1976. Mindful of the difficulties of achieving success in the theater, before committing himself to such a career Zippel first obtained a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School, graduating in the class of 1979 (along with such legal luminaries as former Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States). Even at Harvard, however, Zippel continued to pursue his real ambition, writing several pop songs with singer Pamala Stanley that appeared on her 1979 debut album, This Is Hot, and collaborating on three songs with Wally Harper, Barbara Cook's musical director, whose performance of the songs at Carnegie Hall in 1980 marked Zippel's own New York theatrical debut.[1] CareerTheatrical credits and awards:

Zippel contributed lyrics to The Swan Princess and provided the singing voice of Jean-Bob the Frog. He also wrote the lyrics for the Disney films Hercules, with music by Alan Menken (the song "Go the Distance" received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song) and Mulan, with music by Matthew Wilder. The music and lyrics received an Academy Award nomination for Best Musical or Comedy Score and won an Annie Award nomination for Music in an Animated Feature Production. He was in his agent Richard Kraft's film Finding Kraftland. Pamela's First Musical, written with Coleman and Wendy Wasserstein, based on Wasserstein's children's book, received its world premiere in a concert staging at Town Hall in New York City on May 18, 2008.[9][10]In 2011, Zippel wrote the lyrics to the song "The Star-Spangled Man" featured in the film The First Avenger. Alan Menken composed the music for the song, which was an affectionate send-up of 1940s Irving Berlin songs.[11][12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.masterworksbroadway.com/artist/david-zippel|title=David Zippel | The Official Masterworks Broadway Site|date=1990-03-13|publisher=Masterworksbroadway.com|accessdate=2014-07-04}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.masterworksbroadway.com/artist/david-zippel/|title=David Zippel {{!}} The Official Masterworks Broadway Site|work=The Official Masterworks Broadway Site|access-date=2017-05-04|language=en-US}} 3. ^Jones, Kenneth.
