Gordon Greenberg

Gordon Greenberg (born July 7, 1969) is an acclaimed American director and writer.

Greenberg attended Stanford University and NYU Film School Tisch School of the Arts, as well as The Lincoln Center Directors Lab, The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and Stagedoor Manor.

Greenberg has directed, created and produced musicals, including the Broadway adaptation of Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn, which he co-wrote (with Chad Hodge) and directed on Broadway at Studio 54 for Roundabout Theatre Company and Universal Pictures Stage Productions. In its review, Variety said, "Holiday Inn, the 1942 film, has gotten a complete and first-class stage redo at Roundabout Theatre Company, turning this shaky fixer-upper into prime property. Director Gordon Greenberg and co-writer Chad Hodge have significantly rethought, reshaped and revitalized the script, giving the show more heart, a modern sensibility and a joyful spirit. Engaging performances, dynamic dancing and a lively orchestra make it the feel-good show of the fall." Deadline Hollywood called it "An endorphin assault, inducing warm bath pleasure like no other show since 42nd Street," and the Star Ledger said "directed with generosity and warmth by Gordon Greenberg (who also co-wrote the show with chad Hodge) — and as performed by a pair of dashing and very endearing leading men, this Holiday Inn wears down all defenses." Variety called its premier at Goodspeed Musicals "a charmer of a tuner…an impressive and stylish redo (of the film)…recalls the gold standard of re-purposed shows, Crazy For You." It was extended 4 times and had the longest run of any show in the theatre's history.

His celebrated revival of Guys And Dolls recently finished a record breaking run in London's West End, first at the Savoy Theatre, then on tour and later at the Phoenix Theatre, starring Rebel Wilson. In his review for the New York Times, Ben Brantley called it "Pure, unforced pleasure...a boozy bawdy party." It premiered at Chichester Festival Theatre, where The Week called "A triumphant…exhilarating staging of a golden age musical," Charles Spencer of The Telegraph wrote, "I left the theater walking on air and with a grin of pure happiness on my face…One hell of an evening," and Dominic Maxwell of The London Times wrote, "Gordon Greenberg's production leaves the whole audience purring with pleasure."
