- Biography
- Tony Award winning costume designer, Patricia Zipprodt, is best remembered for the designs she created for several Broadway productions over the course of her long and prolific career, including Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Zorba, Chicago, and Sweet Charity. She was born on February 24, 1925 and raised in Evanston, Illinois. Zipprodt studied sociology at Wellesley College and moved to New York City. Attending a performance of George Balanchine's La Valse, Zipprodt was inspired by the costume designs of Barbara Karinska and decided to pursue a career in design. She attended the New York Fashion Institute of Technology (1951-1953), which was followed by an internship with Charles James. Both experiences contributed to Zipprodt's talents as a cutter, draper and sewer. Zipprodt began her professional career as an assistant to Irene Sharaff, and in 1957, she completed her first solo Broadway show, The Potting Shed. She first worked with the director and producer, Harold Prince, on The Matchmaker in 1962, and together they created some of the most memorable shows of the 1960s: Fiddler on the Roof (1964), Zorba (1968), and Cabaret (1966). Prince also put Zipprodt in contact with Broadway and ballet choreographer, Jerome Robbins, another one of her longtime collaborators.
- Zipprodt's own working method was marked by a thorough attention to detail and usually involved extensive research. In addition to her work on Broadway productions, Zipprodt also created designs for numerous ballet, opera, and film productions. She developed her own fabric-painting technique, perhaps best exemplified by her work on Antony Tudor's ballet, The Leaves Are Fading (1975). Zipprodt taught as an adjunct professor at Brandeis University from 1985-1992 and also lectured or gave master classes at many other universities. In 1981, The Village Voice named her one of New York City's 10 best-dressed women. Zipprodt was a 1992 inductee into the Theater Hall of Fame, and, in 1997, she received the Theatre Development Fund's Irene Sharaff Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 1993, Zipprodt was married for the first time, to Robert O'Brien, a man whose proposal she had refused some 43 years earlier. For the next several years, Zipprodt would split her time between New York City and O'Brien's Virginia home until her death in July 1999.
