Neil Goldberg sure knows how to decorate for the holidays.
Goldberg is the founder of Cirque Productions and the creator and director of “Cirque Dreams Holidaze,” a Christmas-themed circus extravaganza playing through Sunday at Heinz Hall as a special offering of the PNC Broadway Across America — Pittsburgh series.
Aided by his creative team — scenic designer Jon Craine, production designer Betsy Herst, lighting designer Kate Johnston and Cirque Productions costume designers Lenora Taylor and Santiago Rojo — he has decked the halls, walls and any other available surface with yuletide beads, baubles and icons.
Filled with prettily wrapped packages, candy canes and toys, it’s a scene fit for an old-fashioned downtown department store window. Ornaments on the towering Christmas tree come to life. For the next two-plus hours, they entertain the audience with a swift succession of jaw-dropping vaudeville and circus-style acts.
Goldberg has traveled the globe to assemble this international company that makes the impossible appear effortless.
