About The Wick
Resurrecting a Cultural Landmark
In April of 2013, Marilynn Wick acquired the former Caldwell Theatre Company space in north Boca Raton, resurrecting the vacant property into the Wick Theatre and Costume Museum which opened for business in September with its inaugural production of The Sound of Music.
The production was heralded by the press and patrons alike, making the Wick Theatre a formidable contender in professional theatre in South Florida despite its newcomer status.
The Costume Museum followed suit in November, opening its doors to nearly sold-out crowds. Housing the original wardrobes from over 35 Broadway productions and revivals, the museum has entertained thousands of patrons. The two facilities now function together making the Wick Theatre and Costume Museum an arts cornerstone in Palm Beach County.
Marilynn Wick, Founder
"More than ever, we need to support the Arts. I drove by the empty building regularly — it was simply a tragedy to see that beautiful building sitting empty."
— Marilynn Wick
Costume Museum
The back end of the building was gutted to accommodate Wick's Broadway Collection Museum. Items include original costumes from more than 35 Broadway productions and revivals.
In all, Wick has accumulated some 1.2 million pieces. The collection includes wardrobes from original Broadway productions of The Producers and Titanic; the Sarah Jessica Parker production of Once upon a Mattress, La Cage aux Folles, and the Julie Andrews performance of My Fair Lady, with designs by Cecil Beaton.
