Gary Goddard

Mr. Goddard started his career in the 70s with Walt Disney World as a designer and producer developing concepts for EPCOT, Tokyo Disney and River Country, among others.
In 1980, he formed Gary Goddard Productions, which in 1985 changed its name to Landmark Entertainment Group.
As the founder of GGP Landmark Entertainment Group, he built that company into the largest independent design company in the world.
He left Landmark in 2002, after selling 50 percent to famed investor Prince Alwaleed and partner Michael Jackson, and formed a new company, Gary Goddard Entertainment, dedicated to creating attractions for the rapidly expanding international market.
The company expanded in 2008, changing its name to The Goddard Group.
Mr. Goddard helped to transform the original Universal Studios Tour in Hollywood from a simple back lot Tram Tour with few real attractions into a powerful competitor to Disney.
On Broadway, Mr. Goddard is the Tony Award winning producer of 2009’s HAIR.
He has also co-produced hit productions that include the Tony Award winning TRU starring Robert Morse in his Tony Award winning performance in the title role, The Big Love starring Tracey Ullman, Sherlock’s Last Case starring Frank Langella, and the long running musical, Jekyll & Hyde.
He also co-produced the West Coast production of Hurlyburly starring Sean Penn, Danny Aielo, and Mare Winningham.
