520 $a Patricia Zipprodt (1925-) graduated from Wellesley in the early 1950s and moved to New York to pursue her dreams to be an artist. A performance at the New York City Ballet changed the direction of her career when she saw Balanchine's La Valse (1951) for which Karinska (1886-1983), the Russian costumer and designer, had executed the costumes. Zipprodt had never seen costumes like those, and they influenced her decision to become a costume designer.
520 $a Zipprodt used her background as a trained artist and perfected a traditional approach to design. When she created costumes she attempted to replicate those shades, tints, subtle colors and textures seen in a painting because in her eyes, a play was art in movement.
520 $a Zipprodt's designs have been seen on the Broadway stage since 1957, and through unique methods, she has won critical recognition as one of the finest costume designers currently working in the theatre. Her designs for Fiddler on the Roof (1964), Cabaret (1966), Zorba (1968), 1776 (1969), Pippin (1972), Chicago (1975), Don Juan (1982), Alice in Wonderland (1982), Sunday in the Park with George (1984), Sweet Charity (1986), and Shogun: the Musical (1990), have garnered eleven Tony nominations, three Tony Awards, five Maharam Prizes (American Theatre Wing Awards) and five Drama Desk Awards.
520 $a In spite of Zipprodt's prolific and outstanding work, her theories, techniques, and procedures remain virtually unknown. The Introduction provides a brief history of costume design. Chapter II is an overview of Zipprodt's career and design philosophy. Chapters III to VII is an analysis of five plays, representative of her diversity, through the framework of "External" and "Internal Factors" (Defined in Appendices A and B.), and reviewed against the perspective of the critics' response to her design concepts, to establish her legacy. (1) 1776 Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone. (2) Pippin Stephen Schwartz and Roger Hirson. (3) Don Juan Moliere. (4) Sunday in the Park with George Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. (5) Cabaret (Revival) Joe Masteroff, John Kander and Fred Ebb.
520 $a Chapter VIII presents a brief synopsis of plays Zipprodt has designed since 1987, and a sampling of her collaborative efforts in other media. Chapter IX, the conclusion, discusses and evaluates Zipprodt's design process, and the contribution she has made to the American theatre.
