David Joel Zippel (born May 17, 1954) is an American musical theatre and film lyricist, composer, songwriter, director, and producer.
Zippel was born on May 17, 1954, in Easton, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. Falling in love with theater as a child, Zippel first articulated his life's ambition to become a lyricist and director in junior high school.
He attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where he contributed lyrics to an equity production of "a bizarre political musical" called Rotunda, which had a brief run in Washington, D.C. before he graduated with a B.A. in 1976. In 1979, Zippel obtained a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School. While at Harvard Law School, Zippel continued to pursue his artistic ambitions and wrote several pop songs with singer Pamala Stanley, which appeared on her 1979 debut album, This Is Hot, and collaborated on three songs with Wally Harper, Barbara Cook's musical director. Wally Harper's performance of these songs at Carnegie Hall in 1980 marked Zippel's New York City theatrical debut.
