The Wick Goes 360

Like Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Wick Costume Museum in Boca Raton has been reincarnated and reimagined. Shuttered because of the pandemic, the costume museum has been renamed Museum Club at The Wick.

The transformed space features a supper club-like environment with five-star dining and entertainment. The grand opening took place in September and included an intimate concert by Christine Andreas, who starred on Broadway as Eliza Doolittle. The premier exhibit, which opened in October, is titled “Ascot” and features the original 1956 Broadway wardrobe from “My Fair Lady” designed by Sir Cecil Beaton.

Twenty-foot-high screens along the perimeter of the room are filled with images and costumes as the show’s characters come alive while diners enjoy a gourmet meal. There will also be several costumes on display including the black and white “Ascot” ensembles, the Embassy ball gowns and Doolittle’s tattered flower seller, among others.

Owner Marilyn Wick and her daughter Kimberly came up with the idea after visiting the Van Gogh exhibit last year.

“This venture is unlike anything we have ever done before,” said Kimberly Wick, curator. “We are taking the traditional museum tour and elevating it to a multi-sensory journey that celebrates the best of Broadway, live performance, and dining in one glorious experience.”
