Born Seymour Kaufman in NYC, Coleman was a child prodigy who performed at Carnegie Hall by age nine. After classical training at the High School for the Performing Arts and NY College of Music, he pivoted to popular music, adopting his stage name at 16. His early career yielded jazz and pop standards like “Why Try to Change Me Now” and “Playboy’s Theme.” With Carolyn Leigh, he penned hits like Frank Sinatra’s “Witchcraft” and Tony Bennett’s “The Best Is Yet to Come,” before conquering Broadway with Wildcat (1960, starring Lucille Ball; “Hey, Look Me Over”) and Little Me (1962; “Real Live Girl”).  In 1965, Coleman partnered with Dorothy Fields for the smash Sweet Charity (“Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now”), which later became a major film directed by Bob Fosse. The duo also composed Seesaw (1973) before Fields’ passing.  A prolific force through the ’70s and ’80s, Coleman composed I Love My Wife (1977); On the Twentieth Century (1978); Barnum (1980); Welcome to the Club (1988); and the jazz-infused, critically acclaimed City of Angels (1989). The 1990s brought The Will Rogers Follies (1991) and The Life (1997).  Beyond theatre, he scored films (Father Goose, Family Business) and TV specials for Shirley MacLaine and Peggy Lee. Before his passing in 2004, he returned to his roots with the Cy Coleman Trio. His legendary career earned him 3 Tony Awards, 3 Grammys, 3 Emmys, an Oscar nomination, and induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

is a Tony Award-winning lyricist and director whose work spans Broadway, Hollywood, and chart-topping pop albums, with his songs featured on over 25 million records worldwide. He made his Broadway debut with City of Angels (music by Cy Coleman), winning the Tony, Drama Desk, New York Drama Critics Circle, Olivier, and Evening Standard Awards. His other major theatrical credits include Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Woman in White (Tony and Olivier nominations) and Bad Cinderella, Marvin Hamlisch’s The Goodbye Girl (Outer Critics Circle nomination), and the hit revue It’s Better With A Band. He also wrote the script for Liza’s at The Palace, which won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Special Entertainment. For the screen, Zippel co-wrote the score for Disney’s animated feature Hercules with Alan Menken, yielding the Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated #1 hit “Go the Distance,” and later adapted the score for the stage at The Public Theater. His collaboration with Matthew Wilder on Disney’s Mulan earned him a second Academy Award nomination and featured the hit song “Reflection,” which launched Christina Aguilera’s career. His other notable film credits include The Swan Princess (Golden Globe nomination), Captain America: The First Avenger (“Star Spangled Man With a Plan”), The Wedding Planner, and Pokémon: The First Movie. In addition to writing for legendary artists like Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand, and Mel Tormé, Zippel’s extensive development work includes Princesses, Pamela’s First Musical (with Cy Coleman and Wendy Wasserstein), Buzz!
