Gordon Greenberg has directed on Broadway, off-Broadway and in London’s West End, written for television and stage, and developed, directed and produced new works for arts institutions across America.

​

Current directing/writing projects include The Heart of Rock and Roll, which opens on Broadway at the James Earl Jones Theatre in April 2024, following its record-breaking run at The Old Globe, the hit off-Broadway show Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors (Director & Co-Writer with Steve Rosen, New World Stages & podcast starring John Stamos, Laura Benanti and Annaleigh Ashford), a new musical about Picasso (directing and co-writing with Stephen Schwartz and Caridad Svich), the NBC television series Most Talkative (Co-Executive Producer/Writer, NBC, Blumhouse, Andy Cohen), Crime and Punishment, A Comedy (directing and co-writing with Steve Rosen) for the Old Globe, a London revival of The Baker’s Wife (Menier Chocolate Factory, 2024), Single White Female (A.T.G.), The Wedding Banquet (Ang Lee, Hua Musicals, Taiwan), Ghost Tour, The Play and the new comedy podcast series Rolling Calls, starring Julie Halston and Richard Kind (co-writer, Steve Rosen).

His acclaimed revival of Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf starring Calista Flockhart and Zachary Quinto at the Geffen Playhouse won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best Revival. Variety called it “inspired,” the L.A. Times called it “unerringly good…Quinto and Flockhart expose something infinitely fragile in Edward Albee’s shatterproof play,” Entertainment Weekly called it “a riveting production…brilliantly staged by Gordon Greenberg” and the Wall Street Journal called it “intriguing…here, unusually, there is the suggestion that the oncoming dawn may truly presage a fragile new beginning.”

​

Other work includes the North American premiere of Piaf/Dietrich for Mirvish in Toronto (Dora Award, Best Production), Barnum (Menier Chocolate Factory, London), The Secret Party: Jacques Brel 1968 (Das Vindobona, Vienna, Austria), Secret of My Success for Universal Pictures Stage Productions, and Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big [Your Town Here] Christmas Show! in its third season at the Old Globe (co-writer Steve Rosen.)

​

His West End revival of Guys and Dolls was nominated for six Olivier Awards at the Savoy Theatre and then transferred to the Phoenix Theatre (starring Rebel Wilson). The New York Times’ Ben Brantley called it “pure, unforced pleasure...a boozy, bawdy party.” The Guardian's Michael Billington called it “an expert revival...delivered with grace and elan,” the Evening Standard said “this unstoppable hit keeps getting better and better...Gordon Greenberg's delicious production of Frank Loesser's classy classic once again boasts chemistry in all the right places,” The Telegraph’s Charles Spencer wrote, “I left the theatre walking on air and with a grin of pure happiness on my face,” and The London Times’ Dominic Maxwell wrote, “Gordon Greenberg’s production leaves the whole audience purring with pleasure.”

​

Greenberg co-wrote and directed the Broadway stage adaptation of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn at Studio 54 for Roundabout Theatre Company, Universal Pictures Stage Productions and PBS Television's Great Performances. In its review, Variety said “Holiday Inn, the 1942 film, has gotten a complete and first-class stage redo...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.” Deadline called it “an endorphin assault, inducing warm bath pleasure like no other show since 42nd Street,” The Hollywood Reporter called it “pure joy," and the Star Ledger said "directed with generosity and warmth, it wears down all defenses.”
