Neil received worldwide recognition and critical acclaim for creating & producing Cirque Ingenieux, collaborating on an original score with Golden Globe winner Kitaro & hailed “ingenious” by Variety & “opulent & engaging” by the Washington Post.  He produced & directed Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, the first show of its kind to perform on Broadway at The Broadway Theatre and nominated for an American Theatre Wing Best Costume Design Award with additional companies performing internationally from China to Brazil.

Today, Goldberg's conglomerate of companies continues focusing on the development and producing of creative entertainment & experiences, multimedia, costume creations & theatrical productions. He is the founding philanthropist of the Neil Goldberg Dream Foundation, established to enrich the arts.
